Seller's Notes

This MGB GT Jubilee is a remarkably well-preserved example of the rare limited-edition classic British sports car, offered in impressive, highly original condition. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre ‘B-series’ inline-four, fed by twin carburettors, producing around 72kW, and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The odometer indicates 32,786 Kms, however this is not warranted. This right-hand drive example was originally a UK-delivered model, which was imported into Australia in 2012, and is now offered for sale via the motor trade, though it remains unregistered. This MGB GT Jubilee is number 380 of only 751 examples produced exclusively for the UK market. Introduced in 1975, the MGB GT ‘Golden Jubilee’ model was produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the production of the very first MG ‘Old Number One’. The model featured British Racing Green paintwork contrasted by gold side decals and badges, as well as head rests, tinted glass, full carpets, V8 alloy wheels, body-coloured waistline trim, and all the brightwork removed with black door mirror housings and windscreen wiper arms. As with all Jubilee models, this example is finished in British Racing Green with gold side decals, over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting gold seat piping, and chrome trim accents. It rides on a correct set of 14-inch ‘V8’ cast alloy wheels finished in gold and gloss black, shod in Supercat tyres. The factory specification includes a heated rear windscreen, a slide-back sunroof, a wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, heater and ventilation controls, manually operated windows, and push-out front and rear quarter light windows. This example now features a kilometre speedometer/odometer, and a period-style stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary inputs. The car will be supplied with a spare wheel, tools, the owner’s handbook, a certificate of authenticity from the MGB Jubilee & L.E. Owners Club, a copy of a magazine feature on the car, spare stickers, and two folders of maintenance invoices and history. The British Racing Green paintwork is believed to be original, and is described by the seller as being in in excellent condition, with no noted marks or blemishes. Moving inside, the cabin is presented in excellent order given the car’s age and usage. There is creasing on the front seats, and a very light time-worn ‘patina’ on the dashboard controls, switches and vents, but no major wear. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults with the car, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This MGB GT’s most recent maintenance was carried out in May 2020 at an indicated 32,400 Kms by KBR Developments Pty Limited, which consisted of the fuel pump being replaced, and the gearbox oil drained and refilled. Prior to this, a general service was performed in April 2020 at an indicated 31,892 Kms by KBR Developments Pty Limited, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, and five new tyres, Technicians at OFS Mechanical carried out a minor service in December 2015 at an indicated 30,205 Kms, which included an engine oil and filter change, all the brakes, fluids, belts, hose and lights checked, and the carburettor jets tuned. This MGB GT Jubilee is a very well-preserved example of the rare limited-edition classic British sports car, offered in impressive, highly original condition. Number 380 of only 751 examples produced exclusively for the UK market, with an appealing colour scheme, and a desirable factory specification, it would make a notable addition to any assembly of sought-after British classics, and a charismatic companion for weekend jaunts, longer-distance cruising, and visits to classic car shows alike.
