About this car
This 1971 MGB GT has the factory overdrive gearbox, which makes it a more relaxed long-distance car than a standard four-speed. It was supplied new to the USA and came back to the UK in 1998, and it has been with the same family for the last 25 years.
A full restoration was carried out in 2000/2001. It covered the bodywork and repaint, with the engine, gearbox, overdrive, rear axle and propshaft all reconditioned. The engine also received an unleaded cylinder head. Suspension, brakes, fuel system, cooling system and electrics were overhauled, the wire wheels were rebuilt, and the interior was fully retrimmed.
The history file contains the V5C, an old V5, MOT certificates from 2001 to 2017, a Heritage Certificate and the workshop manual. The current MOT runs to 4 November 2027. No mileage is stated on the page.

Performance
The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Engine/layout from BMC/British Leyland MGB GT specs (1798cc B-series, built at Abingdon). Power, weight and performance left null because I can't confirm the published 1971 UK figures (gross vs DIN/net power figures vary between sources).).
