This 1975 MG B GT V8 was built 24 March to 1 May 1975 and despatched on 8 May 1975 to Henly’s Ltd. Of Manchester. It was imported from the UK after getting Import Approval on 7 December 2010. It was then granted Engineering Approval on 20 January 2011 before being registered in NSW.

It presents as a Very Tidy Example finished in Tahiti Blue and sits nicely on a set of Minator Alloy Wheels with Charcoal Coloured Centres and Polished Rims..
