classiccarauctions.co.uk 123 LOT 613 Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000 1968 MG B GT - MANUAL OVERDRIVE Rarely do we have the opportunity to offer an early chrome bumper GT in such fine condition. • Styled by Pininfarina, the MG B GT arrived in 1965 to be greeted by universal acclaim. The adoption of a stylish fastback bodyshell enabled the provision of two occasional rear seats which, when folded flat, created a generous load platform accessible via the rear tailgate • The more robust five-bearing B-Series engine was fitted to the GT right from the start and, when fitted with the manual/overdrive gearbox, offered comfortable touring at 70-80mph • Prior to our vendor’s purchase, it appears that this lovely example had been subject to a bare metal, engine out restoration and he has since had the engine rebuilt within the last 100 miles • It’s finished in gleaming Tartan Red and sits on 14” chrome wires wearing excellent SP7s and sporting later-style, 3-eared spinners • The black leather, piped in red, interior appears standard with a push-button radio and pleasingly retains its original sprung steering wheel • A Revotec fan is fitted to aid cooling and the very smart engine bay is enhanced by an alloy rocker cover and polished SU ‘pancake’ air filters • Rarely do we see B GTs in such fine fettle and this seems an excellent opportunity to acquire a ready-to-go classic at a very competitive guide price Lot Details Reg: XLM 659G Chassis no.: GHD4157750G Mileage: 48,348 MOT expiry: Exempt Consignor: Gary Dunne Telephone No: 07740 946796 Vendor Condition Report: Overall: 106/135 ««««¶ More Details Lot 613 Bid On Lot 613
