AWAITING PREPARATION - 1967 MG B GT MKI
HJA 996E boasts an impressive history, having remained with one family for 35 years before changing hands in 2013. Passed from father to daughter after his passing, this MGB GT underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2010 by a respected MG specialist in West Yorkshire, completed just in time to serve as her wedding car.
An extensive £24, 000 restoration addressed significant bodywork repairs, with multiple panels and sections replaced, all documented in a detailed photographic record. Corroded areas were meticulously removed and replaced with fresh metal, including brand-new floors. With the engine removed and the bay stripped, the body was carefully prepared and refinished in striking Mineral Blue.
Mechanically, the car was fully re-commissioned with a reconditioned engine featuring an unleaded cylinder head, a new clutch, and a checked and refitted gearbox. Additional enhancements included a new Webasto sunroof, replacement carpets and headlining, a new wiring loom, and various ancillary components.
Since its restoration, the MGB GT has proven to be a reliable and enjoyable classic, benefitting from the significant investment. Structurally, it remains in excellent condition, with a well-presented engine bay and a body that has aged gracefully. The paintwork retains a good finish, and the interior is neat and tidy.
On the road, the engine runs beautifully with excellent oil pressure, while the gearbox shifts smoothly, making for an engaging driving experience. Though not fitted with the optional overdrive, it cruises effortlessly on A and B roads.
Overall, HJA 996E is a well-presented and highly usable MGB GT, offering exceptional value more than a decade after its restoration. With an impressive history file, this classic promises both rewarding ownership and enjoyable motoring.
This car will be serviced and MOT'd prior to sale.
