The seller offers for sale an MG MGB GT from 1971, a classic two-door coupe equipped with a manual transmission and petrol power. This MG is fitted with a 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine and has been used in France for approximately thirty years, supported by a long history of garage invoices covering maintenance and repairs. The exterior presents neatly with no visible corrosion, dents, or scratches noted, with only a time-related dullness to the paint mentioned. The interior features a black trim that is described as being in neat condition, including carpets and original MG rubber mats, with a dashboard where all functions operate as intended. The odometer shows an undocumented 68.000 km and holds a valid technical inspection.
The MG MGB GT is the closed-roof grand touring variant of the popular MGB range, designed to offer added practicality while retaining classic British sports car character. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the GT featured a fixed roof and rear hatch, making it suitable for longer journeys and year-round use. The model became popular for its balanced chassis, accessible mechanics, and enjoyable driving manners. Today, the MG B GT is appreciated as a usable and engaging classic, appealing to enthusiasts who value traditional design, mechanical simplicity, and an authentic driving experience.
