MG MGB MGB GT 1976
General description :
This MGB GT is in perfect condition and is always well taken care of. She has been in Belgium her entire life and was, until last year, still in hands of the first owner. Now the second owner sells her because he has not the time that this beauty deserves.
Although the car is almost fully original, the seats were refilled and a lot of parts were replaced recently: fuel pump, battery, brake lines, brake discs and wipers. Drives very fun and easy!
In general, the MGB GT can be described as a sporty hatchback. By combining the sloping rear window with the rear deck lid, the B GT offered the utility of a station wagon while retaining the style and shape of a coupe. This new configuration was a 2+2 design with a right-angled rear bench seat and far more luggage space than in the roadster.
