Early MGBGTV8 registered with the V8 Register for the first time








Posted: 150417

An early MGBGTV8, Damask 0256, was registered with the V8 Register the other day by new member John Davidson saying "what's amazing is that it still get used most days".

From the copy of the production records we can see it was built in May 1973 and despatched in July 1973 from Abingdon to the well know distributor, Oliver Rix, in Luton. As it was first registered for the road on 1st August 1973 ahead of the launch on 17th it seems likely Oliver Rix might have had the car as a demonstrator for the launch.
