Debuting at the 1965 Earl's Court Motor Show, the GT version of MG's iconic B sportscar was styled by Pininfarina. Featuring a hatchback and rear seats, it was a more family friendly model. Some 125,282 had been made by October 1980 when the Abingdon factory closed. Though, few if any can boast a provenance akin to the car on offer.
The vendor bought chassis GVGEJ1AG517027 from Roger Bennington of the Stratton Motor Company thirty-seven years ago. Both parties remember the sale vividly. The former because he insisted that the renowned Norfolk dealership underseal the MG and the latter because it was a cash transaction! Amazingly, the B GT has not been on the road since its one and only owner took delivery and thus is warranted to have covered a mere 106 delivery miles! Dry stored in a garage / wood shed, the 2+2-seater is a true timewarp. The MG retains factory markings to the underside of its rear seat (`198 GT') and bonnet (`027') plus a Leyland sticker to the back of its differential. The spare wheel and tool kit remain in situ as does an unused radio fitting kit. The B GT was issued with the registration number `VEX 44X' but the corresponding, Stratton Motor Company-branded plates have yet to be drilled for fitment! The original Dunlop tyres still hold air and have plenty of tread (though, road use would be unadvisable). The spare key is still firmly affixed to the bulkhead. The MG's condition certainly belies its age with the vendor deeming that a deep clean and recommissioning would bring it back to showroom presentation levels. The lowest mileage and most original MG B GT that we have encountered and a one owner car to boot. Go find another!
