Wilder reports that an exceptional Factory MGBGTV8 is coming up for auction
at Brightwells on Wednesday 23rd September 2009. The catalogue says the car has
only covered 9,900 miles during the last 35 years and it has apparently been kept
garaged and stored under blankets and barely ever been exposed to the elements.
Apart from a new stainless steel exhaust fitted in 2003 and new batteries in 1999,
the car appears to be wholly original and unrestored. In June of this year it
was given a full service and granted a fresh MOT and the whole car was Supaguard
treated inside and out. It is said to drive perfectly and certainly fired up instantly
and sounded magnificent when Brightwells tried it on the occasion of their visit
to take the photos for their catalogue. Auction guide price: £11,500
to £13,000. (31.8.09)
