sale - MGB Roadster - an all purpose competition car - SOLD First registered in 1964. Bought in 1965 by Jim Loveday and modified into an all purpose competition car. Purchased by Gerry Brown in 1982, then its first main event was the 1990 Coppa D'Italia. He finished 2nd in class, 19th overall. Two months later the car was borrowed by Stirling Moss, who drove it in the Pirelli Marathon from Tower Bridge to Cortina in Italy. He finished third overall, just three seconds behind the second place crew. In 1990 was the GT/Saloon race at the Eifel Klassik weekend at the Nurburgring, where he finished 2nd in class, 6th overall. Gerry competed with the car in the 1993 historic Targa Rusticana rally, finishing second overall. Many events followed, both races and rallies, the most recent after an engine rebuild, were the 2010 Classic Mountain Challenge, and finally the 2011 Winter Challenge regularity rally, which finished in Monte Carlo. The car was then partially dismantled, and then left, due to Gerry's illness. Since Gerry's death, the car has been carefully restored, and used on track days. It drives and handles beautifully, reflecting Gerry's engineering skills. MOT to January 2026. Passed with no advisories. Now for sale - offers around £28,000. 250109 |

sale - Factory chrome bumper MGBGTV8 in Damask - SOLD
in 11 weeks MGBGTV8 (Damask 0484), a 1974 Factory chrome bumper car in standard condition with a genuine 55,500 miles supported by every single MOT certificate back to 1977. Finished in its original Damask Red complimented with original alloy/chrome wheels and navy interior. This car is pretty well as it left the Factory including original cast iron exhaust manifolds, complete air induction system, underbonnet labels, rubber floor mats, push button radio and 4 speed gearbox with overdrive on 3rd & top. Also correct are the, minimal, Factory exterior badges. The car also has the original keys, handbook, Leyland 'passport to service' document, Heritage certificates, together with much other history. It also sports the original, appropriate, number plate "3.5". The only major departures from standard are a 12 volt battery with isolation switch and the exhaust system which, although quite loud, is most addictive and I have come to love the sound!. Many more pictures are available. This car is solid original underneath with original sills, castle rails and rear springs hangers. This car has never been welded. It has no patch panels and absolutely does not require any. After removing interior trim panels, I noticed that there is copious rustproofing wax everywhere - I would say that this is why the car has survived so well. Overall, the paintwork is bright and shiny, polishes up well and looks good - however, it is not perfect. I have owned it for 14 years, with a total of four owners all documented in the accompanying substantial history files. Currently stored in my heated, dehumidified motorhouse here in Worcestershire. £20,500. 240819 & 240927 Location: Worcestershire. |

sale - 1974 'N' Reg MGBGT original factory V8 in original colour Aconite
Purple - SOLD
in 8 weeks This is an original chrome bumper factory V8 not a conversion, and is one of just 92 factory V8s in this colour, VIN 1339. Build date 7th February 1974. Contrasting Autumn Leaf velour interior. Odometer reading 36,500, although I think this has been round the clock. Manual, four speed + overdrive. In standard specification with the exception of the front valance spoiler, SPAX upright shock absorber conversion and electronic ignition, plus the period Motorola radio has been adapted with an AUX input. Stainless steel exhaust system. I have replaced the steering wheel but the original steering wheel will be supplied with the vehicle. The last owner, a serious enthusiast with his own fully-equipped workshop, bought the MG in 2005 and between 2009 and 2011 carried out a complete bare-metal restoration on the vehicle, returning it to its original colour scheme. It remains in outstanding condition and is a real credit to him. I have a significant file of bills from the restoration and MOTs back to 1995. It has covered around 16,000 miles since the restoration (which included a full engine rebuild), has always been garaged since and not used in the wet or the winter. The car has been shown and the programme from the Cumbria Classic Car Show in 2012 is included with its paperwork. There are two sets of keys. The car has smooth and effortless performance thanks to the V8 and cruises comfortably with the overdrive engaged. Very good condition throughout. Reluctant sale due to change in family circumstances. Reduced £19,900. 240603 & 240803 Location: Edinburgh. |

sale - MGBGTV8 in Black - SOLD Factory MGB GT V8 (1976) exported from the UK to Belgium in 2012. Colour is Black and comes on a set of original, hard to find Dunlop wheels that are specific to this model (including a spare, so 5 in total). The car was converted to Chrome Bumpers by a professional company prior to my ownership, and ever since further enhancements have been made. In the interior, seats were replaced with 'Club' black leather seats, an elm burr dashboard and gear knob were added as was a black leather Motolita steering wheel. Furthermore, the car received a Webasto roof which functions very well and does not leak. Mechanically, the car received a rebuilt engine (3.5l) based on a block of a late Land Rover Discovery, with new pistons, camshaft, electronic ignition, Weber 500 carburettor. This engine was rolling roaded at 186 BHP. The suspension was lowered and the rear leaf springs were replaced with parabolic springs and Gaz shocks, helped by anti-tramp bars, with a significantly beneficial effect on the handling and comfort. Included in the sale is the original engine including carburettors, inlet manifold (very rare!), ignition etc. Additionally, the car comes with a set of 15 inch Minilite wheels in good condition. The bodywork requires significant attention (see picture) despite a respray around 2010, hence a price of 15.000 EUR. 211224 Location: near Ghent in Belgium |

sale - rare original Factory MGBGTV8 in Glacier White - withdrawn Glacier White/black interior Factory V8 first reg March 1976 owned by me since 2000, with only 58,000 Miles and a large history file, including a Heritage certificate, MOTs and many receipts. I have tried to keep the car as original as possible. Amongst the very few changes are stainless steel manifolds and exhaust system and a stainless steel fuel tank. The extensive records state that a full wax-oil and underseal treatment was carried out early in the car's life. The car has a Webasto sun roof and the original Dunlop cast alloy wheels are fitted with hardly worn Continental ECO contact tyres. Much work done over the years including new clutch and brake servos. Most recently, a new clutch and new engine mounts were fitted and the starter motor refurbished. Front and rear springs have also been replaced. A rolling road tune up (about 1,000 miles ago) confirms that the engine is still producing the same bhp and torque as when new! As a historic vehicle it is MOT exempt but I have continued having an annual MOT inspection. The current certificate is until August and has no advisories. My V8 wears its 45 years and 58,000 miles extremely well, prompting many compliments. The car is garaged and driven only in dry weather.

MGBGTV8
Sebring Replica - YVJ 235K was first registered 22/06/1972 now
as Historic. MOT to February 2022. Comprehensive build details of
conversion to V8-engined Sebring replica, with photographic record.
Impressive spec. Real Steel upgrades to engine, together with Holley
4-barrel carburettor and Offenhauser 360 manifold, should give approx
250 bhp according to their spec sheets. From MOT history, the car
appears to have covered 600 miles since 2006! Over £7,500 spent
in 2019 by previous owner. I bought the car last summer (2020) as
a project - it looked a bit down-at-heel and unloved. Since then,
we have fitted new parabolic rear springs and telescopic shock absorbers,
and new front springs as those fitted were too short. Four new Nankang
225/60/15 tyres have been fitted for good all-round use (dry/wet,
road/track). Two sets of new 4-point competition harnesses have been
fitted, using a new mounting bar supplied by Safety Devices for optimum
over-shoulder angle. A new hand-held fire extinguisher has also been
fitted in front of the passenger seat. The car is now ready for new
adventures, on the road, on track days, sprints or hillclimbs or historic
rallying, as the new owner prefers. £18,995

MGBGTV8 conversion - SOLD in 18 days
A high-quality conversion carried out in the late 1990s by Dave Lockett whose aim was to create 'the V8 Abingdon should have built'. Based on a 1973 shell, the car has an SD1 engine with K&N filters, 'block hugger' extractor manifolds, a 2¼ inch diameter exhaust and a Maniflow silencer, providing 160 bhp at the flywheel. The engine is mated to an LT77 5-speed gearbox and an MGC back axle. It has shorter, stiffer front springs and standard GT rear springs with anti-tramp bars so the car sits about 1½ inches lower than a standard V8. It has a 13/16th anti roll bar, negative camber lower wishbone arms and poly bushes throughout. Wheels are 15-inch Minilite replicas and tyres are Dunlop Sport Blu Response 185/65, about four years old. The bodywork is rock-solid and standard, apart from the bonnet louvres. The car was resprayed in Old English White about seven years ago and the finish remains good. Interior trim in navy blue is also good. I have owned the car for 11 years and 30,000 miles - it is reliable and a joy to drive. Free road tax and a year's MoT. Price £14,000. 190502 Location: South Oxfordshire |

Long term V8 Register member seeks to purchase from a fellow enthusiast a Factory V8, Condition 1, chrome bumper car which is close to the original specification but with a sunroof.

Colour must be unchanged from the Factory original and preferably Glacier White, Black Tulip or Teal Blue, but any colour would be fine for the right car. In the first instance please feel free to call for a chat together. Alternatively email or me to give the expectation of price together with a general exchange of other information. Please, no dealers. I am in Norfolk but will happily travel anywhere within the UK to view a car. A comprehensive history file that includes details of body and mechanical repairs or upgrades would be invaluable as would any other documentation regarding the history. Also any information on the availability, or likely availability, of a good MGBGTV8 would be very much appreciated. Discretion assured. Contact: Angus Munro. 170112 |

sale at auction - low mileage chrome bumper Factory MGBGTV8 in Tundra
- SOLD at auction Tundra 1118 (1974) with only 19,642 miles and owned by a former V8 Register member, is being sold at Classic Car Auctions on Saturday 24th September at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre CV311XN . Details say it "has been maintained regardless of cost, it has never been restored but simply regularly maintained and cared for on an ongoing basis. Sensible upgrades include a twin 12v battery conversion and a stainless steel exhaust system. The MOT test was recently passed with no advisories". From the auction listing it appears to be Condition 2 Plus with an auction estimate of £12,000 to £15,000. The vendor has since clarified the mileage is in fact "about 119,000" and not 19,642. 160828 Auction listing & Photos & auction report |

The Sports Car Classics magazine featured this car in 2003/2004 in a special "V8 Power" article, including detailed descriptions of the very comprehensive "virtually as new" restoration works carried out on this "Condition 1+" car. The present owner bought this car immediately after reading this article. To read a copy of this "V8 Power" article. There have been two significant restoration phases: the first around 1983/4 to rebuild the car into a new BMC factory made (1980) body shell (these last factory made shells had far superior anti-corrosion treatment than earlier ones) and the second restoration took place in 1997-2003 and was fully comprehensive as described in the above article, with about everything being inspected and refurbished/replaced as required. It has covered 10,273 miles since this restoration. Extensive records (invoices) for these restoration works are available. In summary the significant/major works include: replaced body shell (CB) and a subsequent body shell strip/refinish and repaint; engine stripped down, inspected and refurbished as necessary by a Rover V8 engine specialist company; brakes and suspension rebuilt; exhaust system reverted to cast iron manifolds; electrical systems and fully reworked interior with leather seats and new carpet etc.; and much more. The major supplier for genuine MG parts was V8 Conversions of Farnborough, Kent who have continued to supply parts to the present owner, these included: engine immobiliser/keyless entry; electric window lifts, Lumenition electronic ignition; replacement alternator and starter. Also new Firestone tyres fitted, as may have been on the car when new. Price: £15,500 for a car ready to go anywhere at any time.

The bodywork, interior and mechanicals should be excellent and I would prefer a late chrome bumper model with a sunroof.

I have recently joined the MG Car Club and am a genuine MG enthusiast who wants to buy a much cherished car from another member who has decided to relinquish his pride and joy.

- Exceptional original Factory MGBGTV8 - Car
now found in New Zealand I am the proud owner of two Concours standard Spridgets, a 1971 Austin Sprite and a 1973 MG Midget, both of which I treasure. However I would like to purchase an MGBGTV8 at which point my wife informs me that one of the Spridgets will have to go! I am looking for a genuine Condition 1 very low mileage V8 which is close to original specification and in an unmolested state. The bodywork and mechanicals should be commensurate with a Condition 1 rated car. I appreciate that whilst such a car would initially be more expensive to purchase, long term ownership costs should be considerably lower as I expect to have an annual mileage of only circa 3,000 miles. I know I have set very stringent search criteria but as a genuine MG enthusiast and fellow MG Car Club member (not a Trader) understandably I only want the best! A chrome bumper car would be preferred but I would consider a truly exceptional car with rubber bumpers. Although some colours would have an attraction I do not wish to limit my search by this criteria at this stage. If possible I would like to purchase from a fellow enthusiast. In the first instance please email photos, specification and expectation of price. Location: Northamptonshire/Cambridgeshire |

The engine sits lower than any you will find and sits well into the bulkhead giving better balance than any others I have driven. This car is not for the purist as it is extensively modified.

– MGBGTV8 Chrome bumper factory car - car
found and purchased in Northern Ireland I am an MG Car Club member and a long-time MGB GT fan having owned a wire wheel BGT in British Racing Green in the 1970s. Family circumstances forced the sale of the car and I have hankered after another ever since. However, I would now like a little more power than the 1800 engine and a V8 seems the obvious choice. I am looking for a car in good condition, preferably category 1, in Damask Red, Teal Blue or Glacier White with an extensive service history and without a sun roof. Limited garage space combined with my age and lessening agility makes a car in good condition a necessity. The days of engine removal and bodywork repair are now behind me. I would prefer to buy from a private seller rather than from a dealer or by auction. If you are a MG enthusiast who would like to sell your cherished car to a like-minded enthusiast, please give me a ring or email. I live in the Midlands but distance would be no object for the right car. 150311 |

Chassis GD2D1/547-G, Engine 4860-0400 with body in Teal Blue with Autumn Leaf interior and a Tudor Webasto sunroof.

MOT expires April 2015. Bodywork, paint finish, interior, chrome and appendages all in very good condition. The only non-standard extras are the fitment of electric windows which work fine and Luminition electronic ignition, which is also very good. When the revs start to rise and the pace quickens, a stainless exhaust gives the car a very pleasant howl, while recent fitment of a new servo ensures excellent breaking performance, as and when you need it. Four new Continental Eco-Contact tyres as recommended by the Register provide superb grip and added ride comfort. Has had two new 6v batteries fitted only recently. A full history file of bills and receipts, plus photos of the restoration confirms the history and provenance. Also supplied with a Heritage Certificate.

sale - ex "O" Series programme car fitted with V8 engine
and gear box - SOLD MGB Tourer 1979 in Brooklands Green is an ex "O" Series programme car fitted with V8 engine and gearbox and has last edition wheels, orange "campus" seats and the original hood. With only 29,000 miles and a one owner car. Complete records and receipts available. Initially it was built down the line at Abingdon to approve the minor body modifications needed by Pressed Steel for the projected increased performance with the 2 litre fuel injected "O" series engines. Don Hayter bought the body and then the V8 engine was installed in Development department so that this could truly be said to be the last MGB to be assembled in the Factory. For further information on the "O series" programme see Don Hayter's book, the "MGB Story". Price offers. 131004 Location: Oxfordshire |

Over the past 8 years I have replaced many items to get the car back on the road but time is not something I have been able to spend on it. Parts include exhaust, starter motor, fuel pump, radiator, and refurbished front callipers and hoses. The car runs but needs work to get it back on the road.

sale - DEV 2, the second Project Adder development car - SOLD
June 2013 It was built in 1990 by Mark Gamble at BMH using a new Heritage MGB shell and fitted with a 3.9 injection engine supplied by Land Rover Engineering. The car has covered just over 26,000 miles and is in very good condition. It has a 3.9i V8 with 5 speed box with uprated suspension and brakes. Apart from its obvious historic importance, it is a very fast usable car. It may look like an ordinary MGB, apart from its RV8 bonnet and prototype styled front end, but its performance is far from ordinary. It comes with a comprehensive history file and documents relating to its ownership with BMH and Rover Group. I am only selling this car as I need the room. The last time I used it was in 2010 and it is now on SORN. It will be given a new 12 months MOT for the new owner. This is a genuine works development car with documented history. I am open to sensible offers around £14,000. 080912 Location: Shropshire |

Beware
of scam from an overseas V8 buyer!
Rick Morton (Woodcote Green 1300) has reported a scam which members who are selling a V8 need to note. Rick says "I just thought I would update you on my experience with trying to sell my RV8 recently before I withdrew it from sale. Both Jerry Winfield (Woodcote Green 1684) and I heard from the same person but I also had several other emails with roughly the same approach." How does the scam work? "This person, who is overseas, agrees to buy your car and will send you a cheque for more than the asking price to cover shipping costs etc. He then asks if you could bank the cheque and send the balance to his shipping agent via a money transfer. The cheque bounces but only after you have sent the cash to the shipping agent. This scam relies on your ignorance of how the cheque clearing system works. Problems arise because banks update their computers on day three of the clearing cycle. So if you check with them at that time, you may very well be told that the funds are available. It will only be on day four that the bank realises that there is a problem, and on day five that they tell you. Weekends and Bank Holidays all add to the delay. In my case the scam merchant was going to send me a cheque for £3,400 more than I was asking for the car. I was to subtract the cost of the car and send the remainder to his "shipping agent"." So members advertising here need to be alert to this scam and any approach from the scam merchant!
