About this car

This 1977 MGB GT has been reworked rather than simply restored. The Heritage Certificate shows it left the factory in Flamenco Red with silver grey trim, overdrive and Rostyle wheels. It now wears Aston Martin Indian Green Metallic with a bespoke green leather interior, wire wheels and fuel injection.

It was off the road from the early 2000s and returned for an MOT in 2018 after almost 20 years away. A replacement Gold Seal engine was fitted by a dealer in 1989. It was sold by a dealer in 2022 for £24,950, and a further £14,500 has reportedly been spent since. The engine bay is presented to show standard.

It shows 72,611 miles, with a long MOT history on file and a current MOT to April 2027. It has had 11 former keepers and carries the cherished plate GTB 624B, assigned in 2020. The history file includes the Heritage Certificate, restoration photographs, the V5C, the original book pack and invoices back to the early 1990s.
