The Appeal

In the 60s and 70s, there was one country that dominated the world of the fast, nimble sports car. It was a particularly British tradition, one that was known the world over - and there was no brand more central to its development than MG. In 1962, they premiered the lightweight, 2-door, Pininfarina-styled MG B GT. And it was a magnificent success - perhaps one of the most enduring, iconic and recognisable classic sports motors of its time.

This 1972 model is a testament to its enduring appeal. Clearly cosseted, the recently applied high gloss Blaze paintwork, upgraded walnut veneer dashboard and retrimmed cabin all contribute to an utterly fabulous example, that's running like a charm. With an advisory-free MOT until November 2024, this MGB GT is a classic ready to be enjoyed.
