DAMASK B GT WITH AIR CONDITIONING!

On its release the MGB became an instant success. The path had been set for a series of cars which would continue in production for 18 Years, selling over 500,000 examples. Its clean lines, proportions and relatively simple mechanicals were a hit with enthusiasts of all skill levels.

The MGB GT, first released in 1965 with their coupe styling offering many advantages including: reduced road noise, a weatherproof cabin, a much larger amount of usable storage space, rear seats and most importantly a lockable and secure cabin.

This MGB GT was built on 29-30 October 1970 and despatched to the USA on 6 November 1970, then imported to Australia in the late 80s and converted to right hand drive. The B presents well in classic Damask (Burgundy) and sits nicely on 14 period Rostyle wheels. The Black interior features cloth faced seats, along with centre console and flow through dash vents from the 1972 model year.

The GT has had extensive mechanical work completed by the previous owner who has enjoyed the vehicle since 2006 with the most recent service completed in December 2024. Improvements include telescopic rear shocks, electronic ignition, spin-on oil filter conversion, thematic fan, power assisted brake booster, kill switch and Air Conditioning which was not a factory option. Externally the MG features the egg crate grille from a 1973 model and the correct rubber over-riders on the chrome bumpers.

MGB's are well balanced and the GT is no different, allowing you to explore your driving skills with confidence. A highway cruise or a spirited drive through the hills, the MGB GT will provide you with that classic driving experience for which they were designed. Now is the time for you to own a classic British sporting coupe, comfortable and reliable enough to be enjoyed all year round.
