1966 Mk1 MGB GT For Sale
The most obvious difference from a standard car is the paintwork, which evokes the competition cars of the mid to late sixties, but the car benefits from a whole host of other less obvious improvements. 1850cc competition engine (lightened and balanced), fast road cam, vernier timing gear, big jet carbs, Pipercross air filters, electric fan, 2” big bore stainless steel exhaust system, aluminium bonnet, Sebring rear valance, bumper delete, handling kit (inc. fully poly-bushed and lowered suspension, uprated rear shock absorbers, ¾” front anti-roll bar), uprated front brakes and pads, plexiglass headlamp cowls and Moto-Lita steering wheel with original horn push.
Not a garage queen, but neither is it used on a daily basis. A lovely car to experience; so much more involving and rewarding than a modern machine both to drive and to look at. The engine, suspension and exhaust upgrades, together with the fairly significant weight reduction, give the car slightly improved performance and sound over a standard ‘B’. Clearly any car of this age is ‘of its time’ and performance, ride and handling are at the level that would be expected from a car of this era – but it’s the feel and sensation of an electronics-free driving experience that makes getting behind the wheel such a pleasure. Where modern cars do their best to insulate you from any mechanical interaction, cars like this do their best to make you a vital part of the mechanical experience - enjoyable from a mechanical and aesthetic viewpoint.
A great car for attending the Goodwood Revival or participating in classic car events such as ‘Le Jog’ or other regularity-type events – both of which I intended to do when I bought the car but sadly time just hasn’t allowed it to happen.
The price is the price. It’s very reasonable for a good Mk1 BGT. If I didn't have too many cars already I'd be keeping it! Thanks for reading.
