Frontline Cherished is our pre-owned vehicle programme, designed to ensure that any used Frontline car we offer is fully assessed, optimised and authenticated before it is offered for resale. Buying any previously owned car can be a very high risk, especially when the identity of the car is critical to its value. Our Frontline Cherished programme removes all the stress from pre-owned Frontline model purchases.
Frontline has been making and selling upgraded or all-new high-performance parts for over 30 years. Cars fitted with these parts may be more desirable than standard, but their inclusion on an MG does not make that car a Frontline Edition. Frontline Cherished cars are always correctly described and authenticated by us. They are thoroughly assessed and correctly described. A buyer, even if buying a Cherished car unseen, is guaranteed an accurate, transparent and secure transaction.
Quite simply, this is a last-of-the-line, ultimate specification, usable classic MGB GT. Opportunities to acquire a car of this provenance, mileage, and specification are exceptionally rare.
Built just days before the closure of the Abingdon factory in 1980, this 1981 MGB GT LE is among the very last MGB GTs ever produced. An end-of-line Limited Edition example, preserved with extraordinary care and showing just 400 miles from new, it remains in outstanding, original coachwork condition — a true time-warp car.
In 2022 (@ just 61 miles), we undertook a comprehensive recommissioning and transformation, elevating it to what can only be described as the ultimate usable specification, while carefully preserving its provenance.
Crucially, the car retains its matching-numbers original engine, safeguarding its collectability. The engine has been sympathetically enhanced to produce approximately 120hp, thanks to:
• Bluetooth electronic ignition system, with performance coil
• Weber DCOE 45 carburettor
• Custom stainless steel performance exhaust with heat wrapped manifold
• High-compression 1860cc engine
• High-lift camshaft
• Lightened and balanced internals with ARP hardware
• Ported and polished unleaded cylinder head
• Alloy radiator and uprated electronic cooling fan
• Mazda 5-speed transmission with balanced clutch
• Uprated fuel system with swirl pot and twin fuel pumps
This BGT benefits from near every available enhancement, making it one of the most comprehensively specified examples in existence.
• 4-piston billet alloy front brake kit
• Telescopic front suspension kit with Nitron dampers
• 5-link rear suspension with Nitron dampers
• 2.3:1 Brake servo
• Braided brake lines
• Castor correction kit
• Uprated anti-roll bar
• Complete polybush kit
The interior has been completely overhauled and now features:
• Bespoke alloy tub seats heated and trimmed in black leather
• Premium fitted deep pile carpets
• Fully retrimmed door cards, cappings and dashboard
• Frontline rear seat delete and luggage deck
• Integrated premium audio system with Bluetooth and DAB
• Dynamat sound insulation
Externally, the iconic Dunlop-style alloy wheels provide the perfect finishing touch, complementing the original LE aesthetic while subtly elevating its presence.
This is a car that sits uniquely between preservation and perfection — historically significant, beautifully original, yet enhanced for genuine enjoyment on modern roads.

This 1966 MGB is presented in the timeless and iconic pairing of Old English White with a rich red leather interior, Abingdon Edition No.8 embodies the spirit of British motoring heritage with a modern twist.

Fitted with a folding soft-top, this example is designed for all-season enjoyment. The hood is quick and simple to deploy, making it an ideal choice for drivers who want to use their Frontline in any weather.
This Factory Edition boasts an impressive specification:
289hp engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission
Disc brakes all around, with four-piston front and two-piston rear callipers

This exceptional 1971 MGB represents one of the rarest opportunities ever offered through our Cherished programme. Fully restored by us in 2022, this bespoke roadster is now presented for sale with delivery mileage, offering the unprecedented chance to acquire a brand-new restoration without the usual wait.
Finished in our signature Tungsten Grey Metallic, this MGB makes an immediate statement. Subtle exterior cues — including deleted door locks, reverse lights, and chrome side strips — hint that this is no ordinary classic, but a meticulously engineered restomod built with modern performance and refinement.
Inside, the cabin has been elevated to a luxurious standard. Black leather trims all hard surfaces, complemented by a body-coloured dash face that has been entirely re-engineered. Classic instrumentation remains visually authentic while being discreetly converted to digital operation, delivering modern accuracy without compromising period charm.
A custom extended rear deck creates a clean, uninterrupted top-line when the pack-away hood is removed, while also housing fixtures for a tonneau cover — enhancing both aesthetics and everyday usability.
