Introduced in 1965, the MGB GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of its 1798cc B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc/drum brakes, the enclosed 2+2-seater merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'.

Manufactured in 1979, the MG was registered in the UK on the 1^st of March 1979 and is fitted with the 1798cc straight-four engine mated the four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Finished in Black paintwork with Grey and Black interior upholstery, the MG has a recorded mileage of 65,470 miles (at time of consignment). Entering into current ownership in 2012, ‘GPW 743T’ has been in dry storage for the past six years although the MGB has been kept on the road and ran monthly.

‘GPW 743T’ was subject to extensive mechanical restoration and enhancement work in 2013 in preparation for the Three Castles Welsh Classic Trial where it is said to have performed brilliantly. Work included replacement reconditioned engine running on twin K&N air filters, overhauled gearbox, new back axle, differential, steering rack, shock absorbers, extensive chassis welding to improve strength and professionally undersealed. Converted to the bumperless appearance it is offered today, the MG is fitted with a MOSS Sebring rear apron, a Retro Trip Meter and MSA approved fire extinguisher installed. Supplied an extensive history file for the current ownership period, the MG has been serviced regularly and is offered with chrome bumpers.
