MG B GT

The MG B GT was launched in 1965 as a closed version of the successful MG B Roadster and quickly became one of the most popular British sports cars of its time.

The GT was designed in collaboration with Pininfarina, which gave it very elegant lines by British standards. The large rear window and flowing roofline in particular made the GT a stylistic highlight.

Technically, the GT was based on the proven MG B Roadster. At its heart was the 1.8-liter in-line four-cylinder engine from the B series with around 95 hp in early versions, later slightly adapted. The chassis with independent front suspension and rigid rear axle was robust and provided a direct, honest driving experience.

In the 1970s, the distinctive rubber bumpers were introduced due to US safety regulations. Today, these versions are considered a separate era within the series.

The MG B GT was never a high-performance sports car. Its appeal lay in its balance: sufficient power, good handling, compact dimensions and high reliability. This is exactly what made it an affordable sports car for a broad range of buyers.

The MG B GT was produced until 1980, and with over 125,000 units built, it is significantly rarer than the Roadster - which makes it particularly interesting today.

Its sound is unmistakable: a throaty four-cylinder sound with mechanical directness. No exaggerated noise, but an authentic classic engine sound.

Today, the MG B GT is considered the ideal entry into the world of classic sports cars - solid spare parts availability, simple technology and timeless design.
