1969 MG MGB GT

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced in 1965, the MG MGB GT brought grand touring practicality to the popular MGB sports car platform.  

Styled by renowned Italian designer Pininfarina, the GT featured a sleek fixed-roof hatchback body that added comfort, cargo capacity, and year-round usability while retaining the nimble character that made the MGB a success. By 1969, the MGB GT had become one of Britain's most recognized sporting coupes, appealing to drivers seeking a blend of performance, economy, and everyday practicality. 

The '69 MGB GT was powered by a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine with twin SU carburetors producing approximately 95 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Front disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and unibody construction contributed to the car's responsive handling and road manners.  

This example has been refinished in red paint with a black front-to-rear offset racing stripe over a black interior with vinyl upholstery. Additional features include aftermarket body-colored bumper covers, independent front suspension with coil springs, reclining bucket seats, full instrumentation including tachometer, and a British Leyland branded AM/FM radio. 

This 1969 MG MGB GT is now offered with a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name.
