DESCRIPTION

The MGB GT V8 was introduced in 1973 utilising the popular and relatively advanced aluminium block Rover 3500 V8, which gave 137 bhp but a significant 193 lbs.ft of torque. This propelled the car from 0-60mph in 8 seconds and gave a top speed of over 125mph. Production ended in 1976, with just over 2,500 cars made in total, making this one of the rarest post war MG's.

This car, chassis no. GD2D1-1468G, is a genuine factory produced right hand drive car, finished in its original colour of Damask Red with black cloth trim. Having covered only 62,700 miles from new, with just 5 owners in total, the car still drives and performs 'superbly' according to its BRDC member owner. Fitted with a manual overdrive gearbox, this tidy, original and unrestored car is an ideal way to celebrate the 50th birthday of the marque and comes with a reassuring MOT until Jan 2013 and a comprehensive known history.
