NOW AVAILABLE AT P1 MOTOR COMPANY

We are proud to present one of the finest examples of the 1981 MG MGB GT LE currently on the market – a rare, beautifully preserved collector’s car with just 45,140 miles from new and its factory-original paintwork intact.

This Limited Edition GT is one of only 580 cars ever produced, built to commemorate the end of MGB production in 1980. This example, chassis number 031006, is believed to be number 6 of the 580, placing it right at the beginning of the production run – a truly exceptional piece of British motoring history. Finished in the unique Pewter Grey Metallic, exclusive to the GT LE, this car represents the final chapter of one of Britain’s most beloved sports cars. It is unrestored and remarkably original, making it a time capsule and standout example for serious collectors.

Mechanical Excellence
Powered by the 1.8-litre B-Series engine and paired with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, this GT LE delivers the classic MGB driving experience with refined long-distance usability. The car starts effortlessly, runs sweetly, and offers a tight, responsive drive thanks to meticulous care and maintenance.
