1975 MG B GT | Long Melford, Suffolk

The MGB GT is the fixed-roof version of the MGB, a British 2+2 coupé with a Pininfarina-styled roofline, sloping rear glass and a tailgate for luggage. The 1975 model year brought rubber bumpers and a ride height raised by an inch, which gives these later cars a look of their own. This car is green with a beige interior, a soft pairing that sits well against brick, stone and open countryside. Its 1.8-litre engine and four-seat cabin make it a practical coupé. The fixed roof and tailgate give it a closed, tidy profile, and the beige trim shows clearly through the windows. Photography, fashion and editorial shoots get a compact coupé with a clean side view, and period film and TV work gets a convincing 1970s shape. Its proportions leave room in shot for the location, which helps at events and in advertising stills. A classic coupé also makes a quiet arrival for a wedding or a birthday. The car is based in Cambridge, Suffolk.
