About this car

The MGB GT was the closed, hatchback-style sibling of the long-running roadster, and this 1978 car is a late example with the 1,798cc B-series engine and a four-speed manual gearbox with working overdrive. It is finished in green and shows 86,194 miles.

The dealer says a good deal of money has been spent on it in recent years, backed by a stack of parts invoices, some old MOT certificates and a DVLA ownership record with copies of past V5 documents. The interior is described as in very nice condition and the sunroof works.

The paint is presentable, though there is some micro blistering beneath it on the front wings. The car is registered as historic, so it is exempt from road tax and MOT.
