Seller's comments about 1978' MG Mgb Gt

A stylish later model B with four new tires, exhaust, fresh MOT, and new upholstery; features a Webasto roof and overdrive, along with wire wheels; previously a show car, now in excellent condition and ready for driving pleasure.
​This MGB GT is an factory-original right-hand-drive (RHD) model intended for the domestic market, manufactured on 30th August, 1978.
It was subsequently dispatched to the MG dealership, Lankesters Limited, located in Surbiton, South West London, on the 4th September, 1978.
The car was finished in Pageant Blue exterior paint, complemented by a Silver and Grey interior trim. It came equipped with factory-fitted Overdrive and Rostyle wheels.
This MGB GT still proudly displays its original factory-issued registration plate, bearing the distinctive identifier FGH 84T.
Included within the car's history file is a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate, affirming the aforementioned details. This certificate serves as a tangible validation of the vehicle's provenance.
​Originally registered in October 1978, this BGT has clocked 57, 000 miles and is impeccably presented for its next adventure.
​According to the V5C, it has had eight previous owners, with the most recent taking possession in 2017 and driving it less than 500 miles during her ownership.
​Accompanied by 18 old MOT certificates, the car's low mileage is well-supported, along with various bills and invoices, including a 1996 bill of sale for £3, 995.
​Adorned with wire wheels, it is equipped with four new tires and a fresh MOT valid until January 2025, devoid of any advisories. Necessary maintenance included new brake shoes, cylinder, pipes, fittings, and a new steering rack gaiter, amounting to an additional £464. The exhaust appears to have been recently replaced as well.
​The Webasto roof remains in excellent condition, complete with the air deflector, while the seats have been tastefully reupholstered in black leather with blue piping.
Overall, this example boasts a polished appearance, the bodywork is strong, solid and excellent, the only criticism of paintwork would be the expected imperfections commensurate with the age of the car and an older restoration.
Prices of the later 'B' models have surged closer to their earlier chrome-bumper counterparts, attributed to their superior construction quality and rust-resistant bodyshells.
