1975 MG MGB

Neat MG MGB in stylish GT trim! This example was first registered in 1975. This is a very well cared for copy with extremely fine technique and therefore very tight and pleasant driving. The spirited 1800 cc engine runs great and provides plenty of power. As a much appreciated accessory, this MG is equipped with an overdrive gearbox which provides more driving pleasure at higher speeds and longer distances. The bodywork is in a very clean and cool condition, in the past it was nicely repainted. Underside and chassis very cool and solid. The interior is typically understated 70s executed with only the most essentials present. Still special but 73709 km. The car was sold new in Switzerland and came to the Netherlands in 2005. Equipped with nice options: leather sports seats, overdrive, power brakes, wire wheels. At the 1964 Brussels Salon, Coune presented a coupéversion of the MGB. The changes were not limited to a simple hardtop: thanks to parts from Renault and Simca, among others, he designed a car with its own personality, with a sloping roofline and a Ferrari-like rear end. The design was so well received that Coune decided to produce it. Spurred on by this success, MG introduced the MGB GT in 1965 . This closed version was also called ‘poor man’s Aston Martin’ . The GT also owed its beautiful lines in part to the interference of the grand master of body shapes: Pininfarina, who also built the prototype.
