The seller offers for sale a 1967 MG B-GT in rally-prepared configuration. This example is a regularity-spec vehicle that has undergone numerous purposeful upgrades, making it suitable for vintage rallying and spirited driving. Originally developed as a factory-spec rally car, this MG is fitted with a 4-cylinder 1850 cc petrol engine, mated to a manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in 2017 and tuned for performance, accompanied by a specially adapted 5-speed gearbox goes with a long first gear to maintain good torque in hairpin and right-angle bends.
Further enhancements include the installation of a Quaife limited slip differential to improve traction under varied conditions, a roll cage for added cabin rigidity and safety, and precise metering equipment to support accurate timing during regularity rallies. An intercom system has been added for clear communication between driver and co-driver, and both occupants are seated in bucket seats, providing increased support over long distances or in dynamic driving scenarios.
The exterior is finished in a silver tone with dark blue livery, offering a distinctive and purposeful appearance. The paintwork is good, with minor chips or scratches possible but no structural concerns. The interior is good, features blue carpeting and a footrest for the co-driver, supporting its function as a rally-spec vehicle while retaining a clean presentation.
Mechanically, the vehicle is reported to be solid and operational, the car has passed its technical inspection. No accident history is reported.
The MG B-GT was introduced in 1965 as a fixed-roof version of the classic MGB roadster. Its fastback coupe styling, designed by Pininfarina, offered increased practicality and an elegant silhouette. The B-GT retained the engaging rear-wheel-drive chassis and responsive character that made the MGB a favorite among enthusiasts. In motorsport, the B-GT was no stranger to competition, regularly fielded in rally and endurance events across Europe.
The factory rally-prepped models and enthusiast-built examples like this one carried forward the MG brand’s long-standing motorsport heritage, bridging accessible sports car enjoyment with the thrill of competition. Lightweight construction, simple mechanics, and a strong aftermarket scene meant that the MG B-GT could be easily adapted to fit the demands of various rally disciplines. Regularity rallies in particular suited the car’s balance of dependability and performance. The addition of rally equipment, like a Quaife LSD and intercom, elevates this example into a competitive tool for historic events while still being suitable for weekend enjoyment on public roads.
With its sharp handling and iconic silhouette, the MG B-GT remains one of Britain’s most celebrated classics. This car’s rally credentials and thoughtful setup give it a unique identity that combines history, function, and charm in equal measure.
