1970 MGB GT Fast Road Spec 70,000 Miles Tax Exempt MOT - 70,000 Miles - MOT: 9 Months Remaining - Tax Exempt Historic Vehicle - Extensive Upgrades 1000s Spent - Enthusiast Owned Fast Road Build - Over 1,500 Recently Spent on Engine - Daily Driver Reliable, Quick & Classic. This is a very well-looked-after 1970 MGB GT (non-sunroof) that has been maintained and upgraded regardless of cost. Owned for the past year by an enthusiast, this car has received a thoughtful series of performance and reliability enhancements, with extensive receipts included. The engine alone has had over 1,500 invested in recent months, including a Peter Burgess Fast Road Plus Cylinder Head (650). The result is a genuinely exciting car that not only pulls well but remains docile and practical enough for daily use. With an estimated 95100whp (vs. 60whp standard), this MGB can comfortably keep pace with modern traffic while delivering an engaging drive. Overdrive works perfectly in 3rd & 4th, oil pressure is spot-on (50psi cold, 35psi hot), and fuel economy is surprisingly good at 25mpg town / 40mpg motorway. Mechanical & Performance Upgrades: Engine: 1800cc B-Series Peter Burgess Fast Road Plus Cylinder Head Brown & Gammons Ultra-Light Flywheel (3.3kg) HIF4 SU Carbs with K&N Filters (using stub stacks) LCB Single Box Exhaust System Maniflow Steel Enlarged Ports Inlet Manifold Piper HR285 Camshaft Lightweight Cam Followers Modified Curve Electronic Distributor New Radiator, Alternator & High Torque Starter Motor Electric Cooling Fan (manual switch in cabin) Compression Ratio: 10.1:1 Suspension: Front: Lowered Springs & Blue Polybushed Throughout Rear: GAZ 32-Point Adjustable Telescopic Dampers Brakes: EBC Drilled & Grooved Discs EBC Greenstuff Pads Refurbished Calipers & New Hoses Drivetrain: Professionally Rebuilt Rear Axle (by Heathrow Transmissions) New Propshaft Additional Enhancements: MoMo Prototipo Steering Wheel (140) + Boss Kit Kenwood CD/USB Stereo Chrome Rostyle Wheels + Spare (Plenty of Tread) New Chrome Rear Overriders Early-Type Mk1 Rear Lights Stick-On Front Number Plate Steering Rack Gaiters Re-bushed & Honed King Pins Interior: Original trim in fantastic condition Modern stereo neatly integrated Comfortable and clean ideal for regular use The Honest Bits: This is a 50+ year-old car, and while very solid, it does have a few minor cosmetic blemishes: Paint blistering along the base of the windscreen Small bubbles on the rear wing seam & lower door (N/S) These are not major and dont detract from the overall condition or usability but they are mentioned for transparency. Final Thoughts: This is a sorted, fast-road-spec MGB GT thats both exciting and usable. Perfect for B-road blasts, classic car shows, or even daily use. Its rare to find one this well set up, especially with so much recent investment. Serious enquiries only viewings welcome. Youll struggle to find another like it at this price.
