Introduced in May of 1962, the monocoque MG B was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MG A models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs, and notably tauter handling. Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative, with 2+2 seating, not being offered until October 1965. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing unit two years into production. The MkII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced.

Coming from long term previous ownership, this B GT is finished in striking Red paintwork. A 1968 example of the MG B, it presents itself in the iconic form, with chrome wire wheels, knock-off hubs, and chrome at every angle, from a time before US Federal laws took charge of the designer's role! Complementing the look is a Black interior with Red piping to the seats and a 3 spoke sports steering wheel. In 2014 this B GT was fitted with new front brake calipers and has just been serviced. 'UDM 609G' is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates and a few invoices.
