This 1971 MGB GT is a real head-turner with its rare fish-mouth grille, a feature only found in cars built between late 1969 and 1972. A complete restoration has been undertaken with no expenses spared, and there is an extensive service file of invoices and photos detailing the work completed over the past six years.

The 1.8 litre engine starts effortlessly, runs smoothly, and easily keeps pace with modern traffic. A new clutch and full engine rebuild have been completed in the last six months by a leading MG specialist, just 2000 miles ago. An unleaded cylinder head conversion has also been done. The car comes with a spare wheel, jack, and tools, and features a classic radio. It has a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th gears.

This car drives responsively and returns around 35mpg on average. It is Road Tax exempt, MOT-exempt, and ULEZ-exempt, meaning it can be driven in London (and the wider London area from August 2023) with no emission zone charge. While the mileage cannot be verified, the clock shows 8,500 miles (108,500 seems plausible with 8 prior owners).

This is a solid and clean example that’s ready to give many miles of reliable classic driving pleasure to its new owner. It would also be ideal for use in film and TV commissions. The car is being sold with the desirable DRF 999K number plate and is presented in a gleaming Metropolitan Police Blue colour. The sale is only being made due to a change in personal circumstances. The car can be viewed by appointment in Wimbledon, SW19 postcode area. The V5 document is present.
