Hot on the heels of the ultra-desirable, unique, barn-find Bentley that’s going under the hammer with H&H Classics in a few weeks is another British classic that’s come blinking into the light after years hidden away.
Emerging after 37 years in a woodshed, this 106-mile, one-owner MGB GT is a rather special find and presents its next custodian with the chance to own an as-new example of this much-loved classic.
Chassis number GVGEJ1AG517027 is expected to sell for £11-13,000 at H&H Classics’ Duxford auction on 20 March.
There can’t be many MGBs left like this.
This car was sold by the Stratton Motor Company’s Roger Bennington in 1982 to its one and only owner, then was put away, and that’s it – until now.
Bennington still remembers the transaction because it was a cash sale, while the MG’s owner recalls asking the dealer to underseal the car – which suggests he intended to use it.
