Footnotes:
Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with unitary-construction bodyshell. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight, the existing B-Series engine was stretched to 1,798cc, and the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the 95bhp available to achieve a top speed which just bested the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years apart from a minor facelift for 1970 and the adoption of plastic bumpers - to comply with US legislation - for 1975, the MGB enjoyed an eighteen-year production life and sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars.

One of the last chrome bumper models, finished in Teal Blue with Yellow/Sand leather interior, this MGB GT was purchased privately in 1978 and has remained in the same family's possession since then. In 1997 the car was restored, being stripped back to bare metal and rebuilt at a cost of circa £13,000. Stored under cover, the 'B' has rarely been used since the rebuild's completion but has been regularly maintained. The private vendor describes the car as in good condition throughout, although now showing some signs of its age. Offered with restoration bills and a V5C.
