Condition
7
The car is described as an 'especially appealing example' and has been 'cherished' with a 'fantastic documented history' and 'comprehensive' supporting documents. It starts, drives, and stops as expected, and the overdrive works correctly. It has a MOT valid until August 2027. While not explicitly stated as 'excellent' or 'outstanding', the description of its care, history, and operational status places it in the 'Very Good' category, suggesting slight wear that is not prominent but requires minor reconditioning.

Description
The car has hone a genuine 95,612 miles; only 2 owners from new mother and daughter; fantastic documented history on the car; enjoyed over the years enjoying some great adventures
An especially appealing example of the ever-popular MGB GT, finished in Harvest Gold and retaining a lovely family ownership history spanning more than five decades.
Powered by the 1,798cc four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox and overdrive, this classic British sports coupé has been cherished by just two former keepers, both from the same family.
First registered in August 1973, the car was purchased new by Edna, aged 63, who enjoyed many years of motoring with it, including trips across the country and everyday shopping duties.
In January 1996, ownership passed to her daughter, who continued to enjoy the MG and take her mother on classic car outings until Edna’s passing in 2007.
The car also took centre stage at her funeral, adorned with a black ribbon tied to its radio aerial.
