Registered in September 1978, the last registered keeper of this MGB GT owned it since 1983 (when it was purchased with 59,085 miles on its odometer and only used for occasional trips). Over 40 years on from then, the odometer reading is 95,636 miles, which is supported by the extensive history. The car has an MoT through to June 2025, even though, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires annual testing. Four registered keepers are showing on the V5C. 

The paperwork with the car includes the V5C, a large stack of invoices dating back to 1983, old tax discs, and MoT certificates back to 1983. The MG received a full engine rebuild and new clutch during 2019, with the bill for this alone amounting to over £5000. Beyond this, the MGB has received thousands of pounds of other expenditure over the years, as a classic that has been much-loved by its long-term owner.
