Where is the Jubilee MGBGTV8?
With the 50th anniversary of the delivery of the Factory Jubilee MGBGTV8 (BRG/Gold 2605) to BSM in July 1975, Noel Lindford is keen to trace the car to see if it could be on display at the MG Fest North event at Croft this year. If any member has seen the car recently or knows who has it and where it is do let us know. Email

Only one Jubilee specification MGBGTV8 (BRG/Gold 2605) was produced by the MG Factory in June 1975 in BRG with a Gold Jubilee side flash on each side and with gold coloured Dunlop composite wheels and gold badging. It was offered to David Haddon, Managing Director of BSM, and left the Factory on 14th July 1975 for BSM in Chelsea and was registered with the VRN "BSM 1". It was later reported as sold and then had the registration plate "MGB 5".
UM Jubilee MGBGTV8s
University Motors produced some similar cars, most converted to Jubilee style before delivery to their customers, and one was owned by a longstanding V8 enthusiast, Rob Grieves. That MGBGTV8 (Black 2788) above was built in February 1976 and supplied by University Motors in Epsom and first registered in April 1976. More & Jubilees
