Description
The MGB GT, designed by Pininfarina, was introduced in October 1965, and can claim to be one of the earliest sports hatchbacks to go into volume production. The rear deck offers excellent luggage space with a 2+2 option and improved aerodynamics gives the GT a top speed in excess of 100mph
The later rubber bumper cars, be they Roadsters or GTs, provide the perfect entry route into classic car ownership or as an everyday driver that is cheap to use & maintain while standing out from the crowd in the supermarket/ golf club car park.
Milestones recently took this Inca Yellow rubber bumper MGB GT in part-exchange from a young enthusiast who purchased another Milestone car. The GT was his first foray into classic car ownership and he really enjoyed re-commissioning, maintaining & improving the car - the MG is a credit to him.

Today the car presents well (all the better for being lowered to chrome bumper ride height) with a very straight body, no corrosion issues, strong/ sorted mechanicals, nice original grey ‘deckchair’ interior and MGB exhaust note!
On the road the car is very well sorted and does not disappoint. Used by the last owner as his everyday transport I would happily drive her anywhere.
Priced to sell and guaranteed to put a smile on your face this BGT is a perfect entry level classic ready to use and enjoy this summer.
