Private sale - MGBGTV8 in Regency Red
SOLD in only just over 3 weeks!
Regency Red 0548 (1973) was originally produced in Teal Blue but the bodyshell was subject to a major professional restoration in 1995. I bought the car in September 2004 knowing that both doors, both sills, one rear wing, and part of the floorpan needed work, and the paintwork was a bit faded. After professional repair, the vehicle was subjected to a full respray (including the engine compartment) in June 2005. I have the receipts. The reason for sale - I just have too many MGs, including another factory V8 and a 1955 TF1500.

All numbers match the original factory build records, as confirmed on the Heritage Certificate.
