Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1978 MG BGT, originally a rubber bumper model, has been tastefully converted to a de-bumpered look with Sebring styling and performance upgrades like Wilwood brakes and sports seats. It comes with an extensive history file, indicating good maintenance over the years, and is ready for its next owner.

Condition 

7

The car has undergone several upgrades including a de-bumpered look, Sebring style bumper, Wilwood brakes, alloy wheels, sports seats, harnesses, and a half roll cage. It has a history file with MOTs dating back to the 1990s and receipts for recent maintenance. While generally well-presented, the conversion to a de-bumpered look and the presence of aftermarket performance parts suggest it's not in showroom original condition but has been actively maintained and modified.
