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". |

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
