EXTERIOR
This wonderful GT Coupe is finished in Sand Glow, an extremely rare colour that was in production for only two years.  It has a fabulous appearance with a uniform polished shine. The often criticized polyurethane bumpers are in excellent condition and all trim articles are intact and perfect.  All tinted glass is original and security etched and the optional Webasto Sunroof is in perfect working condition.  The rear arches have been repaired and there is a small dink on the bonnet.  All the panels are original and the floor has never been welded. The Ziebart rust protection plug holes can still be seen in the sills and the doors and the inner wings have had waxoyl treatment.This is an excellent cherished MG.
  
INTERIOR
Delightful and correct in every manor.  The biscuit cloth seats and tan vinyl trim evoke real 1970's nostalgia and is presented in excellent order.  The thick tan carpeting in the load area is clean and wear free.  The front foot wells are still protected by the original MG rubber floor mats.  All the controls, gauges and switches set in the perfect crackle finish fascia function.  The optional PYE radio cassette fitted from new works along with all other electrical items.  The headlining is tight and all door cars undamaged.  The centre armrest has a minor tear but along the seam.  An MG interior worthy of the low miles travelled.  

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This four cylinder o.h.v with a five bearing counterbalanced crankshaft produces 94bhp at 5500rpm and offers ample performance for daily use.  The tough, well proved 'B' series engine is a simple unit with brilliant access and fantastic parts availability, every classic car owners dream!  This example performs faultlessly.  The four-speed all synchromesh gearbox gives sporty performance coupled with real fuel economy.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The Rostyle wheels are in good condition fitted with excellent tyres all-round.  The boot mounted spare is present and in excellent order.  The hydraulic brakes with servo assistance employing discs at the front and 10 inch drums at the rear offer safe stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by Mann Egerton & Company Ltd, main MG Dealers in Leicester on the 1st August 1976 to a Mrs B Warren who owned the car for 25 years.  Then sold to MG enthusiast and club member, Mr Jarvis in 2001.  On passing away his wife, Elizabeth Jarvis, took ownership and has only just been able to sell the car.  The original Owners handbook, Passport to Service and a MGB GT brochure from the period are included in the sale.  There are a number of entries in the service book but much of the paperwork was discarded on the loss of Mr Jarvis.

HPI clear.
