1980 MG B GT | Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire

A 1980 MG B GT, the fixed-roof coupé version of the MGB, known for its sloping rear glass and a tailgate that adds practical luggage access. Cars from 1975 onwards carry rubber bumpers and sit an inch higher, which gives this generation its sturdier stance. This car is finished in Orange with a black interior, a bold pairing that stands out against brick, greenery or a grey studio wall. It is in very good condition, with a 1.8-litre petrol engine under the bonnet. The closed roof and sweep of rear glass give advertising, fashion and editorial photographers a clean, solid shape to frame, and the colour reads clearly on camera. Its design from the late 1970s suits period film, TV and music video work, while events gain a bright, characterful arrival. For weddings and personal hires, it is a distinctly British coupé. The car is based in Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire.
