One of the truly remarkable things about the MGB is their phenomenal survival rate. Made in significant numbers for very nearly 20 years, over 500,000 found homes before production final ceased in 1980.
One of the overriding reasons for their continued popularity, apart from their good looks and strong performance is the fantastic supply of spare parts. A large number of specialists can supply quite literally any component, with a range of upgrades available too including engines up to 250bhp!
This 1971 GT has been off the road for many years and will require a thorough recommissioning before it can once again be used in anger. The vendor describes the body as in sound condition and has recently fitted a new petrol tank so that it is now in running condition.
Fitted with an overdrive, this tax exempt example looks like a rewarding and straightforward project.
