MG - MGB (1969)
Discover the timeless allure of the MG MGB – a classic British sports car that has captivated enthusiasts since the early 1960s. Whether you’re looking at a pristine 1969 model or a well‑maintained run‑about, the MG MGB price ranges vary widely based on condition, mileage, and provenance. Customers often ask, “What is a 1969 MG MGB worth?” and “What is the MG MGB 1969 price?” Here’s a clear, data‑driven guide that answers those questions while laying out the car’s essential specs and depreciation profile.
- Model & Year: MG MGB – years 1962‑1975 (focus on 1969 for classic sentiment)

MG MGB depreciation offers insight into what new owners and collectors expect over time. While the vehicle’s iconic design shelters it from extreme devaluation, the price still typically falls within the following patterns:
- First Year: The car typically loses about 15–20% of its value, especially if it has above‑average mileage or cosmetic wear. For a 1969 model, that could translate to a drop of roughly 3 % to 5 % from the original market value.
- Second to Third Year: A cumulative decline of 25–30% can be observed worldwide. Parts availability and interest from classic enthusiasts help mitigate sharper depreciation, but a neglected vehicle in the high‑mileage bracket can see much steeper reductions. <
