1980 | MG MGB GT

MGB GT LE verified by the British Heritage Motor Industry Trustas a genuine matching registration, engine & chassis numbers car and is production number 103 of 580 GTs and number 386 of the total LE production run. Built on 04.09.1980,it is correctly registered as a historic vehicle and is Tax and MOT exempt. The odometer shows a mileage of 22,000 which is not guaranteed but verified by MOT history back to 2005.**

The car is in original LE specification with the following upgrades:Dealer fitted Webasto sunroof.

Front and rear adjustable shock absorbers. Electronic ignition & sports coil. Thermostatically controlled electric fan. PioneerCD radio & speakers. Moto Lita steering wheel. The interior trim is now a beautiful unmarked biscuit leather (the original grey stripe trim is available).

The car underwent a significant refurbishment in Aug 2019 at a cost of over £3000 including braking system, suspension, new clutch, rear axle, underbody, bumpers, full leather interior, new cabin underlay & sound proofing, fuel system (including full carburettor rebuild) and engine tune. Some new panels (rear valance, Front ‘D’ Panels) and all rot cut away and replaced with new metal.

There is a comprehensive photo file of the refurbishment. The car also comes with an extensive research / history file including previous works carried out compiled by the previous owner showing bills for over £4000. This car is structurally and mechanically sound and I use it as my summer daily driver with no problems. It starts, drives, steers and stops really well with fully functioning overdrive in 3rd & 4th gear.

The car is not perfect but the price reflects this and most of the hard work is done. This is a very original car with sensible (and reversible) modifications for driver comfort and reliability. This is a really solid car for the money and more has been spent on this car by me and the previous owner than the asking price.
