MG B GT 1974

1975 MGB GT for sale

I have for sale my father’s MGB GT a 1975 car. It is said to be part of

the last 50 off batch of MG’s made prior to the ‘new’ rubber bumper

models. It has of course Chrome bumpers, wire wheels, o/d and the

unmodified engine is, it is understood, also as originally supplied by

BMC, and it does all as it should, without any smoke or wrong noises.

The car is not, unfortunately being used as it should be, my father

says he is ageing faster than the ‘B’. He has endeavoured to only use

the car in dry periods. The car is somewhat unique, in that all the

panels are original, no welding, as I believe is the paintwork, as

supplied by BMC. As can be seen from the photos the interior is

tastefully customised with new leather seating, a knurly looking and

polished dashboard, and new steering wheel.

Some 2 or 300 miles ago, my father was not sure the handling was as

it should have been, and the ‘B’ was taken to his local MG Specialist

who overhauled all the front end of the car. This included new

shockers, wheel bearings, tracking was set up to standard and new

tyres. Other items would have been included at this time, invoices

are to hand. Of recent times, a month or so ago, the carbs needed

to be looked at and my father also had the car checked over

professionally. My father’s local MG specialists, Classic MG Services

Ltd. took the car in and carried out the servicing as my father asked.

A new fuel tank, (it was becoming porous) new sender and digital

fuel pump. The fuel lines were replaced and the underneath

scrubbed and Waxoiled. It does cast some doubts to the uses of

ethanol in our fuels.

The car has been very well and professionally looked after, certainly

since my father owned it. It just hasn’t been used as he had planned.

The car is at present in the Fareham Hampshire area.

With the present condition and uniqueness of the car am looking at a

price of £11,250.0 ono.
