The MGB is and always has been a very popular car. With sales of more than 500,000 during its eighteen year production run, it outlasted and outsold that other icon of 1960s British motoring, the Jaguar E-Type. Introduced in 1965, some three years after its roadster sister, the GT was an altogether more practical proposition. Capable of year round use, it also boasted greater interior space and more relaxed high speed cruising. An enjoyable drive with a surprisingly modern feel thanks to its capable chassis and rack and pinion steering, it represents one of the most inexpensive ways to enjoy classic motoring.

Finished in Vermillion Red with black cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Though, he considers the engine and interior trim to be "good". Sporting a front spoiler, Britax folding roof and refurbished Rostyle wheels, 'KAH 77N' is further said to benefit from "an oil cooler, alloy rocker cover, radio and alarm". Deemed "a very pretty car" by the seller, the MG is thought to have covered just 65,000 miles from new (a figure apparently substantiated by "much history, bills and old MOTs"). Nicely presented, this practical yet stylish coupe is offered for sale with history file, MOT certificate valid until September 2008 and road tax valid until February 2008.
