Seller's comments about 1973' MG MGB

Ah, the MGB GT — an icon of youthful ambition in the swinging sixties. The car that filled pub car parks outside the Dog and Duck, where like-minded petrolheads gathered to admire Britain’s finest sporting machinery.Built by MG, the MGB GT is the archetypal British sports car — as British as warm ale and fish & chips. With production spanning an impressive 28 years before concluding in 1980, the model earned its place as one of the most successful and usable classics ever made. Far from “boring,” the B’s enduring appeal lies in its balance of style, reliability, parts availability, and genuine everyday drivability.This very smart 1973 chrome-bumper example represents everything that makes the model such a compelling classic today.Key DetailsManual gearbox with overdrive56, 000 miles indicated (unwarranted but strongly supported by history)Only 7 previous owners from newFirst owner retained the car for 30 yearsExtensive documented historyEngine rebuild in 2010 (£1, 800) – only 8, 000 miles since Outstanding History FileFew cars of this era come with documentation quite like this example.Every MOT certificate dating back to 1978MOT records indicating just 36, 000 miles covered since the first MOTA substantial file of invoices covering 35 years of careful maintenance39 original tax discs dating back to 1973Detailed evidence of long-term, conscientious ownershipThe mileage reading of 56, 000, while not warranted, is strongly supported by the comprehensive documentation.Specification & FeaturesWebasto sunroofBrake servoAlloy rocker coverAlloy wheelsDiscreet battery isolation switchSubstantial maintenance records Why Buy an MGB GT?The MGB GT fuelled an entire industry dedicated to maintaining and improving the breed — meaning superb parts availability, specialist knowledge, and strong club support today.
