Does anyone know anything of this Teal
Blue MGBGTV8 or have they seen it recently? It is presumably a low mileage car
having been used for an initial period of possibly only 14 years. Posted:

 | Has
this MGBGTV8 gone missing? Peter Beadle says "one of our flock is
missing - it was last seen on an ebay advert for a replica Ferrari Maserati Vanwall
next to two other MGB/CGTs. Can you spot the early chrome bumper MGBGTV8 in Teal
Blue with the registration number OPW 943M in the background?"
The
results of a search on the GOV.UK
website (see alongside) show the car was first registered in November 1973 but
has been untaxed since 1st October 1987 some 31 years ago. It has not had an MOT.
On checking the V8 Database there is no registration of this car there
so we have no details of who has owned or owns the car. Peter believes the MGBGTV8
may be in Lancashire just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, north of
Burnley. It doesn't appear to have a dust cover but seems to be in a reasonable
condition. |
