Description
Discover the timeless elegance of the 1980 MGB GT.
Unleash your inner driving enthusiast and embark on a journey through time with this exquisite classic car. Immerse yourself in the allure of the Tahiti Blue color that exudes confidence and charisma.
The MGB GT is a meticulously cared for vehicle, with its current owner having cherished it since July 2016. With only 5,000 miles added during their ownership, this exceptional car is ready for a new home. Its history file includes receipts and MOTs dating back to March 1986, hinting at its genuine mileage of 84,006 displayed on the odometer.
The exterior of the car is clean, with a few small scratches and dings acquired over time, but no rust holes. The near side quarter was replaced in 2017, and the off-side rear quarter received a fresh respray in 2022. The Britax sunroof ensures a rain-resistant experience, allowing you to enjoy your drives even in inclement weather.
Step inside and be captivated by the revamped interior. Cream seat covers with brown piping, a good roof lining, unmarked wooden effect door caps, and dash create a sense of timeless elegance. The windows are etched with the car's number plate, adding a touch of individuality. The MGB GT also features a sporty wooden steering wheel and a genuine Motorola push-button radio with an iPhone jack plug for modern convenience.
Mechanically, the car is in great shape. It starts smoothly with a good oil pressure of 50 psi and runs without any rattles or unpleasant noises. The overdrive seamlessly engages, providing a smooth driving experience. The MGB GT comfortably cruises at 60-70 mph on main roads. While electronic ignition could enhance its performance, the traditional ignition system works reasonably well, with only occasional splutters or coughs.
The car has been diligently inspected and maintained by a trusted garage. Although it currently lacks an MOT, any potential issues are promptly addressed. For your peace of mind, the option to obtain a fresh MOT or arrange an inspection at your preferred garage is available.
In summary, the 1980 MGB GT in its Tahiti Blue color is a true embodiment of refined nostalgia. Its exceptional care, stunning exterior, revamped interior, and impressive mechanical performance make it a joy to drive. Though it may have a few imperfections, it presents an opportunity for a devoted owner to unlock its full potential.
