B GT: the Timeless Sports Car for Everyone

The MG B GT is one of those cars that entire generations grew up with. Its silhouette is instantly recognizable, its character unmistakably British, and its charm? Absolutely timeless. Over the years, the engineering evolved, but the essence never changed: a compact coupé blending sportiness with everyday usability in a way that has set the standard ever since. For many enthusiasts, the MkII with overdrive represents the perfect balance. Why? Because it combines the classical lines of the 1960s with the technical refinement of the 1970s—without sacrificing the pure, analog driving feel that has made the MG B so beloved.

The example we are proud to offer here is a superb illustration of that ideal: a 1972 MG B GT MkII Overdrive, delivered new in Switzerland and preserved with exceptional care ever since. Swiss cars are renowned for their strict regulations and meticulous maintenance culture—and you can sense that in every detail. The bodywork presents beautifully, with professionally renewed exterior paint, while the door jambs and engine bay remain in their original finish—an authentic detail connoisseurs will immediately appreciate.

The color combination is both classic and distinctive: Blaze Red, warmer and deeper than its name suggests, paired with an exceptionally dark blue interior that gives the car a nearly aristocratic presence. Step inside, and you are greeted by a wonderfully inviting cockpit. The dashboard, the signature gauges, the chrome trim—everything feels honest, authentic, and delightfully mechanical. The standout feature is the 8-track player mounted in the center console, transporting you straight back to an era when driving still meant progress, adventure, and promise.

Mechanically, this MG is exactly what you hope a European GT should be. The MkII gearbox shifts smoothly and precisely, while the electrically engaged overdrive adds welcome comfort at higher cruising speeds—perfect for relaxed touring. The engine fires eagerly, runs cleanly, and exemplifies the robustness that the B-series inline-four is famous for. The service booklet is present, as are Swiss Abgaswartung documents, and that meticulous history is reflected directly in the way this car drives: stable, spirited, and surprisingly solid.

What makes this MG so appealing is not only its condition, but also its essence. This is an MG that has nothing to prove. It represents an era in which purity and driving experience were the highest priorities. A time when a sports coupé was allowed to be small, light, and nimble—and when every mile reminded you why so many people fell in love with this British icon in the first place.
