The Bolesworth Castle October 2023 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1969 MG B GT
Equipped with overdrive transmission and displaying just 58,000 miles
Registration - KJO 380G
Chassis - G/HD4/154520
M.O.T. - September 2024
Odometer - 58,066
‘KJO 380G’ matches burgundy bodywork to black vinyl interior trim and rides on silver-painted wire wheels. Its comprehensive specification includes overdrive, an upgraded Pioneer sound system, leather-rimmed steering wheel and a pair of large auxiliary driving lights. The MG has remained within the current ownership for the last couple of years and is regarded by the vendor as having an ‘excellent’ engine and manual gearbox, and ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and upholstery. This presentable home market example has evidently been serviced within the last two months and is now being sold complete with its original spare wheel, Haynes owner’s manual, a sizeable history folder of invoices, receipts and old MOT certificates, plus a current one valid for the coming 12 months. The vendor believes the indicated total mileage of 58,066 to be correct.
Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MGB was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MGA models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. It was initially only available in roadster form – the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle, and a switch from dynamo to alternator. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. By the time GT production ceased in October 1980, a total of 125,282 had been produced.
In summary:
- A presentable 12-keeper example displaying 58,066 miles
- Recently serviced and accompanied by 12 months of MOT
- Equipped with overdrive, upgraded stereo and wire wheels
