The MGB was first introduced in May 1962 as a direct replacement for the MGA. Performance was brisk with power supplied by a 1798cc four cylinder iron block engine set within a monocoque lightweight body shell with crumple zones incorporated. October 1965 saw the introduction of the GT and was based on the already popular roadster. Designed by Pininfarina, the new GT sported a hatchback giving useful access to the rear luggage space and a rear bench seat that enabled the car to be called a 2+2. Although acceleration was slightly slower than the roadster, top speed was better by 5mph due to the increased aerodynamic efficiency.

Subject to an previous restoration by marque specialist Renaissance MGs, this smart late chrome-bumpered MGB has also been retrimmed in the past, and fitted with a replacement hood. Finished in Damask Red with larger minilite wheels and lower profile tyres, the MG has been recently recommissioned after a period of storage. This attractive example is supplied with a current V5C, handbook, photographs and receipts for works completed, a number of older MoT certificates, and both sets of keys.
