A well-kept and highly original example of the desirable 1980 MGB GT Limited Edition, finished in the correct Pewter Grey Metallic over a cloth interior. With just one former keeper and displaying a remarkably low and genuine 38,937 miles from new, this is a particularly appealing example of one of the final iterations of the much-loved MGB GT. Accompanied by a Heritage Certificate and benefitting from careful long-term ownership, this Limited Edition model represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage, well-preserved example of a sought-after classic which is on-par if not better than the example we sold in our Winter 2026 sale.
The vehicle presents well, having clearly been cherished throughout its life. It was stored unused in a garage for approximately 16 years between 2008 and 2024, preserving its condition. Since recommissioning in 2025, the car has benefitted from a new battery and the fitment of an unleaded cylinder head, enhancing usability for modern driving. A comprehensive file accompanies the vehicle, including photographs and invoices documenting the recommissioning works, as well as evidence of an earlier extensive restoration carried out in 1998.
This example is accompanied by an impressive and well-organised history file, with paperwork present up to 2008 including original and later logbooks, service history, and MOT certificates. The car was declared SORN during its period of storage, with further invoices and documentation covering both historic maintenance and recent recommissioning. Ownership history is minimal, with just one prior keeper before The Vendor, who has owned the car for the past two years.
The MGB GT Limited Edition was introduced as a final run-out model celebrating the end of MGB production, with only 580 GT examples produced for the UK market. Finished exclusively in Pewter Grey Metallic, these cars featured distinctive 14-inch alloy wheels, a front chin spoiler, and unique grey cloth “deckchair” upholstery. Powered by the well-proven 1.8-litre B-Series engine, the Limited Edition models represent the most refined development of the MGB GT.
With its low mileage, minimal ownership and extensive accompanying history, this MGB GT Limited Edition stands out as a particularly collectible example. The rarity of the Limited Edition specification alone makes this an attractive proposition for both collectors and enthusiasts seeking a usable and appreciating classic.
