Introduced in 1965, the MG BGT was a coupe variant of the popular MGB roadster. The addition of a fixed roof and hatchback made it more practical for daily use while maintaining the sporty characteristics of its open-top sibling. Designed by the Italian firm Pininfarina, the BGT was positioned as a grand tourer, blending performance with usability. It was one of the most affordable and widely loved British sports cars of its era.
Under the hood, the 1.8L inline-four engine produced around 95 horsepower, delivering a balance of reliability and driving enjoyment. The MG BGT remained in production until 1980, cementing its status as a classic collectible.
