The Background
The MGB GT Is a 2+2 coupe made by British Motor Corporation (BMC) between 1965-1980. It was part of a variant range based on the MGB which also included a soft top and V8 version.
The car sold in decent numbers and was considered a more affordable 2 seater British sports car than some of the other options available at the time.
The shape is very recognisable to this day and its handling compliments its good looks, a desirable classic on a budget.
The current owner acquired the vehicle from the owner that did most of the restoration work. As mentioned, he was a hobbyist and so whilst the car has had a comprehensive restoration its not to concourse standard, more a tidy useable driver.
The current owner is looking slim down his holdings so unfortunately the MGB is looking for a new home.
The car received a restoration by the previous owner himself and the exterior was taken back and repainted as part of this work. There are photos to show the extent of this work and the panels that were replaced.
It is though that the previous owner repainted the car himself and so the paint work is not of concourse quality but tidy. There are a few blemishes and patches of fade on the exterior which have all been pictured.
The car sits on the more desirable wire wheels though they could do with re-chroming to bring the best out of them.
Mechanically the car starts stops and runs as it should, it also sounds quite raspy which is a classic British sports car trait, not least helped by the stainless steel exhaust that’s fitted.
There are no untoward knocks and bangs and it’s pleasure to drive.
The MGB GT is part of the stable diet for any classic British Sports car fan. It's simple, easy to drive and gives a great return on smiles per mile especially in this price bracket. This may not be a concourse restoration but it’s a good useable example that has had a comprehensive amount of work done meaning you can throw it into some corners with confidence.
60s sports car thrills with just the right amount of frills, built for fun this one, why wouldn’t you want to take it home?

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
