This 1966 MG MGB GT is a white-over-red coupe that was acquired by the seller in 2001, and it is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 14” wire wheels, a left-side mirror, and a Blaupunkt push-button radio, while modifications include a battery kill switch, a locking gas cap, lap belts, a center storage console, rubber floor mats, and a wooden shift knob. Service since 2019 is said to include an overhaul of the cooling system, conversion to a spin-on oil filter, and replacement of the battery, motor mounts, and clutch components.
The seller states that corrosion on the rocker panels was repaired and the body was subsequently refinished in Old English White. Exterior details include chrome bumpers, a left-side fender-mounted mirror, MGB GT badging, and an aftermarket locking gas filler cap.
Silver-painted 14” wire wheels are secured with two-eared knockoffs and mounted with Michelin XZX tires. Stopping power is provided by discs up front and drums in the rear.
The interior features seats trimmed in red leather with black piping, and matching upholstery covers the door panels. MG-branded black mats cover the red carpets, and equipment includes wind-up windows, a heater, front and rear vent windows, and a Blaupunkt push-button radio paired with an under-dashboard speaker. Additions include lap belts, a center console with an armrest, and a wooden shift knob.
The banjo-style steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 60k miles.
The 1.8-liter inline-four is equipped with dual carburetors and Coopers-branded air cleaner covers, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Recent maintenance is said to include replacement of the battery, motor mounts, and clutch components along with an overhaul of the cooling system, which included replacement of the water pump and fitting an expansion tank. The seller also notes that a spin-on style oil filter has been fitted along with a battery kill switch.
Manufacturer’s literature, an ownership summary, two sets of keys, a tool kit, and other MG memorabilia are included in the sale.
