History of the Model and This Example
An embodiment of the British Grand Touring coupe, this 1967 MG B GT combines elegance, reliability and driving pleasure. Carefully maintained and upgraded, it is ready to take to the road.
Launched in 1965, the MG B GT is a remarkable evolution of the celebrated MG B roadster. Styled by the prestigious coachbuilder Pininfarina, it transforms the convertible into a fastback coupe that is both practical and beautifully pure in its aesthetics. Its rear tailgate makes it one of the pioneers of versatile sporting coupes, capable of taking you away for the weekend in style, with luggage.
Robust and fitted with proven mechanicals, the MG B GT is appreciated for its reassuring road manners and accessible maintenance, making it an ideal choice for discovering the world of classic cars. Its reliable and torquey 1.8L engine, paired with a precise gearbox, delivers an authentic and engaging driving experience.
The example we are offering was imported in 2014 and has since benefited from substantial investment. Its engine has been fully rebuilt for optimum reliability, including conversion to run on unleaded fuel. A full repaint in its iconic "British Racing Green" shade was carried out in 2021, restoring its full lustre. This is a car that combines period charm with modern peace of mind in use.
