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 (the car turned the scales at 2028lb), 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. With the MkIII derivative of 1972 came a new fascia and improved heater. By the time GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 are said to have been produced, a large proportion of which are still providing good service today.
Finished in British Racing Green, traditional for an MG, this B GT is a desirable chrome bumper model. As with many MG Bs in Green, the Black vinyl interior complements the exterior and provides for a ‘sporty’ appearance. Self-evidently the subject of previous restoration work, this example has been fitted with period Minilite-style alloy wheels, a design of alloy wheel often fitted in the era. The current owner has had it since 2014. With a history file accompanying, this pretty MG B Coupe has 3 former keepers showing on HPI report.
