1979 MG B GT | Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire

A 1979 MG B GT, the fixed-roof coupé version of the familiar British sports car. It is liked for its sloping rear glass and tailgate, and the late cars have rubber bumpers and a slightly higher, chunkier stance than the earlier chrome-bumper models. This car is black with a black interior, in very good condition. It has been extensively modified: a supercharger on the 1.8-litre engine and an Abarth exhaust made for it give a coarse, urgent engine note. A large sunroof lets light and air into the cabin, which seats two. The coupé profile and black paintwork suit advertising, fashion and editorial shoots, with a clean silhouette and strong reflections. The supercharged sound gives music videos and period-set film and TV work something to record, and the sunroof opens the cabin to light for interior shots. Weddings and personal hires get a smart, understated arrival. The car is based in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
