Thames
TV feature on British cars at the motor show in 1973
Keith Belcher says
"I haven't seen this film from 1973 before but it includes an
early MGBGTV8 - HOH 902L" It's a Pre-Production car, Bronze Yellow
0113 built in March 1973 and first registered in April that year.
Location: Polsden Lacey, east of Guildford in Surrey.
Video commentary - quite why Hudson-Evans was such a doomster about
the MGBGTV8 is sad with cynical journalism.

In
the video Tony Bastable and Richard Hudson Evans take a look
at the latest British offerings that were being shown at the
1973 motor show at Earls Court. It includes a brief view of
the MGBGTV8 launched at that show with the comment that "from
our largest sportscar factory at Abingdon MG have come up
at last with the obvious putting a Rover three and a half
litre motor into their MGB but as quick as it undoubtedly
is, many cynics will remember BMC used to sell a large engined
MGB before, the ill-fated MGC". See
