1972 MG MGB GT Manual Overdrive
UK • 20 Oct 2026
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 MGB GT is a desirable chrome-bumper model with manual overdrive and recently replaced tires, having undergone significant recommissioning in 2025. While presenting well with good paint gloss and bright chrome, it has noted cosmetic imperfections requiring some attention, particularly on the lower body and around window seals.
Condition
6
The car is described as handsome and honest with good paint gloss in most areas and bright chrome. However, there are several noted areas of paint loss, surface rust, light stone chips, crazed paint with rust, flaking paint and corrosion on the inner rear wheelarch, and some bubbling as photographed. The interior has faded cloth centres and a stain, and a window handle slips. These issues indicate it's in 'Good' condition, requiring some reconditioning.

Add a fastback roof and lifting tailgate to the MGB's crisp lines and you get a car many regard as innately handsome with perfect proportions.
Britain certainly agreed, and by 1970 the country was buying 10 GTs for every roadster, making the tin-top the nation's favourite MGB.
Better still, the tough, simple and gutsy 1.8-litre B-Series comes paired with a wonderfully slick short-throw gearchange.
Inside, there's room for two six-foot adults, and the rear bench folds flat to reveal a big, low boot for luggage.
Throw in comprehensive parts support and you've got a classic that's made for long-distance cruising, weekend after weekend.
This 1972 example is a chrome-bumper GT with all the early-shape charm, ...
