Description

1967 MGB GT Mk1

Manual overdrive model; Mark 1; unused for some years; for recommissioning; nice interior and highly original; wires, overdrive an no sunroof

This 1967 BGT comes with nothing in the way of history or paperwork, but we know it was recently rescued from the barn of a Scottish Doctor who had owned it for many years. It has a current V5C and is currently on SORN.

Off the road for some considerable time, it has clearly had restoration work done in the past and looks reasonably solid, although it will need work to the paintwork and bodywork, although the chassis rails look reasonably sound.

Retaining a lot of originality, including the dash and steering wheel, the interior is in good order and its owner has resisted the temptation to fit a sunroof. Sitting on wires and fitted with an overdrive, the engine turns freely although bidders are advised that the clutch master cylinder is stuck and the brakes will need a full overhaul.

These early BGTs are so much nicer than the later variants in so many detailed ways. It is a restoration project which will repay the budget-concious enthusiast who wants an early Mk1 BGT.
