Following its replacement of the MGA in 1962, the MGB was steadily updated during its 18 year reign. The MKII of 1967 brought a superior manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new facia and improved heater. However, by far the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later, when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch, in deference to the American market where 80 percent of MG B sales were made. By the time GT production ceased in October 1980, a total of 125,282 had been produced.
Finished in the striking combination of Vermillion Orange paintwork with striped Grey cloth interior trim, 'VEU 97T' has been in current ownership since 2001, displays 74,000 miles to its odometer and was last on the road in 2010. Offered with its original bill of sale, collection of old MOT's plus invoices and original MG sale brochure, 'VEU 97T' will require recommissioning before returning to the road.
