This 1972 MG B GT comes to us from a long-term lady owner in Filey, who has enjoyed and carefully maintained the car for the past eight years. Finished in green with a well-presented interior, it offers a solid and enjoyable classic driving experience.

Registered as CKN 383K on the 1st of March 1972, the car originally spent its early years in the south before moving to Yorkshire in 2005. Since then, it has been regularly used for countryside drives and trips to the coast.
 

The previous owners have taken good care of the car, with maintenance carried out by Murray Scott Nelson, a respected classic car specialist in Scarborough. Recent work includes a new clutch kit, flywheel, top-end engine gasket set, engine mounts, oil cooler, slave cylinder, leaf springs, drop links, king pin assemblies, hubs, bearings, wishbones, brake discs, and brake pads, along with a set of four new tyres.
 

A few sensible upgrades have been fitted, including a high-torque starter motor, a lowering kit, and polyurethane anti-roll bar and trunnion bushes to improve reliability and handling.
 

Inside, the car has been well cared for, with updates such as new heating controls, a wooden centre console, a 15” steering wheel, new door handles, and replacement clocks.
 

In total, over £7,000 has been spent in recent years on maintenance and improvements. Prior to this, the MGB had received a new fuel tank, a rear axle overhaul, electronic ignition, and inertia reel seatbelts. The history file contains invoices dating back to 1996, detailing servicing and parts from MG specialists.
 

Overall, this MG B GT presents as a well-maintained and usable classic. It’s not a show car but a solid example that has been cared for and improved where necessary. Suitable for someone looking to enjoy classic motoring, it would make a great choice for weekend drives or longer trips.
 

The car was serviced on the 24th of February 2025.

When you buy from The Forge, you’re not just purchasing a classic car—you’re joining our extended family.

 

Each car we offer is carefully handpicked, often sourced from fellow enthusiasts who share our values. Before any vehicle reaches our showroom, it undergoes an independent inspection, an MOT if needed, and professional detailing, ensuring it’s in prime condition and ready for its next journey.

 

We fully own every car in our collection. This structure guarantees the integrity of every transaction and demonstrates our commitment to quality.

 

Although original manufacturer warranties aren’t possible due to these cars’ age, we take immense pride in presenting each car in excellent condition, free from known faults upon delivery. We inspect each vehicle thoroughly, document any repairs, and include invoices for parts and labor in the car’s history file. If a service is warranted by mileage or time, we’ll at minimum perform an oil and filter change with OE/OEM parts, which is also noted in the car’s records.

 

Upon collection or delivery, we record the mileage and provide a 3-month/500-mile warranty (whichever comes first). Should any issues arise beyond standard wear-and-tear, given the car’s age, please reach out to us directly—we’ll do our utmost to assist.

 

Classic cars are timeless machines with intricate components that may occasionally need attention. Embracing a classic means accepting these quirks and savoring the open-road journeys that make them feel as exhilarating today as they did decades ago—whether that’s 20, 30, or even 40+ years in the making.

History Of The 1972 - 1974 MG MGB:

The MGB is a classic British roadster that was originally introduced in 1962. By 1967, changes were incorporated that lead to the designation of the MGB Mk II (officially the 1968 model year). This model continued in production until August 1971, and was then superseded by the MGB roadster Mk III in October 1971, from chassis number 258001.
 

Like the Mk I and Mk II MBG, the Mk III is a two-door roadster powered by a front-mounted, rear-wheel drive 1798cc B Series engine. The Mark III benefitted from a revised interior, with centre console now utilising rocker switches and with two air vents in the middle. An arm rest was added between the front seats.
 

In October 1972, from chassis number 294251, the MGB Mk III roadster was fitted with a black plastic cross-mesh grille with a wide chrome surround (now incorporating the MG badge) and vertical centre chrome bar. The steering wheel was redesigned, and padded arm rests replaced the door pull straps.
 

In October 1974, from chassis number 360301, the model was given a visual redesign to meet US impact regulations. Large black urethane bumpers were added on front and rear with front indicators incorporated into the ‘rubber bumper’. The nose was redesigned, the ride height of the car increased, and overdrive became standard.
 

In August 1976, from chassis number 411352, the fascia was covered in grey crackle (rather than black), the steering wheel was redesigned to include an ‘H’ pattern (replacing three spokes), the overdrive switch moved to the gear lever from the column stalk, full carpets were included, the fabric upholstery gained stripes, and suspension and steering was revised. In August 1977, door mirrors were repositioned.
 

Today the MGB roadster remains one of the UK’s favourite classic cars. It is very easy to maintain, very practical, and has superb parts availability and interchangeability across model types. This meaning the cars are easy to ‘upgrade’ should the owner so wish. The MGB roadster is also still abundant, meaning the buyer had a great deal of choice.
 

Early ‘Chrome Bumper’ models tend to be more collectible than later ‘rubber bumper’ models, although kits to retro-fit chrome trim are available. Alternatives from the era include the Ford Capri, the Reliant Scimitar, and the MGB’s bigger brother, the MGC.
