FORGOTTEN MEMORY

Stunning ‘timewarp’ MG B GT coupe that has been locked away for 37 years emerges with just 106 miles on the clock

This classic sports car has been hidden away ever since it was delivered new to its owner almost four decades ago

A CLASSIC sports car that has covered just 106 miles in its 37 years has emerged for sale in near-mint condition.

The "time capsule" MG B GT vehicle was delivered new to its owner in 1982 - but the iconic British coupe was never driven.

It was instead kept locked away in a barn and as a result the MG remains in pristine original condition, just as it did when it left the factory.

The factory-fresh MG has a stylish blue body, chrome trim and black bumpers.

The blue and grey striped interior appears showroom fresh and it even comes with an original and unused radio fitting kit.

The owner has decided now it's the right time to sell the car as he looks to downsize his collection.

It has now emerged for sale with specialist auctioneers H&H Classics of Warrington, Cheshire.

The auction house have described the two door as "the most original MG B GT that we have encountered" and are anticipating offers up to £13,000.

Damian Jones, head of sales at H&H, said: "The MG owners club is by far the biggest in the UK and this will definitely appeal to the enthusiasts and collectors.

"To find one in such untouched condition is remarkable.

"It's the lowest mileage and most original MG B GT that we have encountered and a one owner car to boot.

"The gentleman bought it as something of a 'summer holiday' car but he never actually got round to driving it.

"He is now quite elderly, lives on a farm and still has a number of vehicles.

"He is trying to downsize his collection and just felt that now was the right time to sell this particular car."
