"If" it is exactly as the seller says it is, then I'm not too surprised, as
restored tourers have gone for that much plus. The
seller seems to be reputable, based on 98% positive feedback. And all you
really
need is one person who has that to spend,
and you have a market! It also looks like there were 2 bidders who took it from
around $10k to the final selling price, so there
was probably some emotion involved as well ("I'm not gonna let that other guy
beat me out!").

Subject: [Mgs] B GT brings big bucks
Watching eBay in my search for an early B roadster, I noticed that a
'66 B GT just got sold for $15,100. This has got to be a record,
and/or an anomaly. Are prices on the rise?
It would be one thing if the car had the original type engine and O/D
gearbox, but this car was not redone to original spec at all. Does
this mean that buyers are not that knowledgeable? Perhaps the red
colour and wire wheels just do the trick, and curb appeal trumps the
details. And the $60,000 quoted as being spent on the car's
restoration must have impressed some buyers.
They don't call it "resale red" for nothing.
$15,100
