The MGB was only available in Roadster form initially - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front, and a live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear. Damping was by lever arm units all round. Braking was by discs at the front and drums at the rear. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp. However, this unit was quickly replaced by a five-bearing one. The MkII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. With the MkIII derivative of 1972 came a new fascia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later when steel-reinforced plastic bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced.

First registered in Northampton on August 1^st 1979 (or so its ‘KNH 10V’ number plate would imply), chassis GHD5502946G displays a credible but unwarranted 96,000 miles to its odometer. The accompanying history file pleasingly includes the original service book not to mention numerous receipts for maintenance carried out by the late owner. Kept garaged, the MG is said to have been ‘running and driving well’ up until his passing last year. Now in need of some minor recommissioning (new battery, fluid check etc), the B GT rides on Minilite-style alloy wheels and sports such niceties as a polished rocker cover and yellow seat piping. Benefiting from a gearlever operated overdrive, the 2+2-seater is surely worthy of a return to the road?
