About this car

This 1968 MGB GT is finished in Tartan Red with a black leather interior. It is a right-hand-drive car with the 1,798cc four-cylinder engine, which makes 91 bhp. It has been fitted with power steering and a Ford Type 9 five-speed gearbox conversion, both useful for modern road use.

The car has been rebuilt into a new Heritage shell, and the engine was overhauled by Mike Rolls MG Services in Dorset. The page says it has covered about 10,000 miles since the rebuild. The recorded mileage is 9,920, and the MOT history on file shows a steady rise from 2006. The latest MOT, in 2026, was passed with no advisories.

It has had nine former keepers and is MOT and road tax exempt. The listing is marked as coming soon, and no price has been published. The documents and invoices included with the sale are still to be confirmed.
