This 1972 MGB GT presents as a usable and mechanically sound classic, described by the vendor as being in solid overall condition and ideal as a running project. While a respray and light cosmetic restoration would enhance its presentation, it benefits from numerous recent improvements, including the fitment of modern LED headlights. The vendor informs us that recent work includes the installation of a new electronic ignition kit and spark plugs, new fuel pump, K&N oil filter, fuel filter, radiator hoses, and rear lift spring. The car is accompanied by a file of invoices detailing ongoing maintenance over the years.
Launched in 1965, the MGB GT introduced a practical fixed-roof version of the popular roadster, offering a sporting drive with improved refinement and load space. With its lightweight construction and classic BMC B-series engine, the GT became a firm favourite for enthusiasts seeking everyday usability with traditional British sports car charm.
In summary:
- Fitted with modern LED headlights and electronic ignition
- Recent mechanical work including fuel system and suspension upgrades
- Offered without reserve
