1973 MG B GT | Bristol

The MGB GT is MG's fastback coupé: a compact British sports car with a glazed rear hatch and a snugger cabin than the roadster. It is liked for its handsome lines, its chrome detailing and the lively, mechanical feel of its 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine. This car is finished in cream with a blue interior, a soft outer colour set against a bolder cabin. The chrome catches the light well against the paler paintwork, and the condition is very good. It is a three-door coupé, so the tailgate gives easy access for props or a camera bag. The fastback roofline and 1970s British character give film and television work a period backdrop, and the curves and bright trim reward a photographer or a fashion and editorial stylist. At an event it works as a display car with a clear point of interest. For a wedding or a drive through the Cotswolds, it gives a couple a classic coupé with plenty of character. The car is based in Bristol.
