The MGB GT, powered by a 1.8litre B-series engine and 4-speed gearbox with overdrive, has undergone a complete restoration with a new BMH Heritage bodyshell. In a nod to modern convenience, it also features electric power steering. 

The museum also claims the restoration has retained the car's classic charm, showcasing a full black leather interior and an upgraded walnut dashboard.

Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum said: "This is the first time we have offered a classic car in our prize draw. Whilst the modern Minis that have been the star prize in the past have been fabulous, this MGB GT will give the winner a chance of experiencing the joy of owning and driving a true icon of British motoring.

"Each year our car raffle helps raise funds for our Museum allowing us to tell the story of motoring and to care for the thousands of motoring objects, photographs, archive film and our famous collection of vehicles."

The draw is set to take place on Friday, March 28, 2025, at the National Motor Museum.
