Description

This is a usable, well-sorted MGB GT that has benefited from sensible mechanical improvements aimed at reliability. It starts, drives, and performs as it should, making it a good option for someone looking for a straightforward classic to enjoy. Not a concours car, but an honest example that can be driven and improved over time if desired. Detailed images attached for transparency. Starts on choke when cold, then settles nicely. Once warm, it runs confidently and smoothly and pulls well with good torque from the B-Series engine.
