Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1979 MGB GT has exceptionally low recorded mileage, under 12,000 miles, and a comprehensive history file including MOTs back to 1987. While mechanically sound with recent service and upgrades like a new stereo, it requires minor cosmetic attention to the underseal and a small paint repair to be in top condition.

Condition 

7

The car has very low mileage and is described as having a lovely engine bay and interior. However, the vendor notes that the underseal is starting to flake and there's a small paint issue behind the front passenger wheel, indicating a need for minor reconditioning. The tires have virtually no wear and the wheels are in lovely condition.
