Lot details
Registration No: PER971R
Chassis No: GHD5-433247G
Mot Expiry: Nov 2007

Introduced in 1965, the MGB GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of their 1798cc, B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc / drum brakes, each version merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Today they both enjoy a strong following and have spawned a dedicated support industry making them among the most practical and cost effective of all classic cars.
Finished in white with orange / grey cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its 1798cc engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Said to "look and drive like new", 'PER 971R' has apparently covered just 60,293 miles since leaving the factory. Riding on Rostyle wheels, this smart MG B GT is offered for sale with history file (including twenty-five previous MOTs) and current MOT certificate valid until November 2007.
