MG B GT 1971


Specifications


Description

The B was an epochal car for MG. During its 18-year production run, it became the world's best-selling sports car.

When launched in 1962, an up to-the-minute specification meant it was a delight to drive compared with its rivals, as well as being a significant step forward from the MGA. There was plenty of power on tap, thanks to its upgraded 1.8-litre B-series engine. Four-speed gearbox with overdrive, rack-and-pinion steering, independent front suspension, and disc brakes were standard fitments right from the start.

In 1965, the B's appeal was considerably widened with the launch of the GT. Its fastback roof, designed by Pininfarina, followed conventional GT styling cues but resulted in disarmingly good looks. The raised windscreen height and side windows meant that there was a realistic amount of headroom for those in the front, although the rear-seats were really only useful for luggage.

And since it went out of production in 1980 (by which time, it was already a classic), an entire support industry has grown up around it.

The traits you experience that make this MGB GT such a good starting place for classic car ownership are based on a number of key factors. 

  • Comfortable and plenty of leg room, this car is very cosy inside for two.

  • Its also a 2+2, so great for young kids to come along or for additional storage.

  • Fixed steel roof – so its not a problem to drive if the weather turns inclement.

  • Instantly recognisable styling, cosy interior, Smith's dials, MG badge, powerless steering, predictable handling and classic front engine, rear drive balance.

  • Manual with Overdrive

  • Well maintained and serviced by MG Specialists – Servicing records available.

  • Body and Paint in perfect condition.

  • Beautiful interior in excellent condition

  • Drives and Runs like a dream

Under the skin, the GT is pure Roadster, and that means tidy handling and excellent performance.

This MGB GT offers year round classic car entry ownership with bags of club support if required.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
