The first of these, launched in December 2015, is the Hagerty Classic Index. The Classic Index monitors the values of 50 classic car models that were chosen to be representative of the enthusiasts’ market in the UK. The MGBGTV8 is included in that group of 50 cars. 151205 More MGBGTV8 PriceWatch report Keith Belcher follows the online adverts for the Factory MGBGTV8 model and reviews a group of recent adverts. 151030 More Update your agreed value when renewing your classic car insurance cover With the substantial rise in MGBGTV8 values over the last few years, many members might find the agreed value forming a key part of their classic car motor insurance cover may be well below current market prices and need updating to avoid being underinsured. 150819 More Investment activity in the classic car market continues to lift prices The major factor lifting classic car prices over recent years has been the increase in investor activity where classic cars are seen as "alternative investments"with many having their fortunes plotted much like stocks and shares." 150809 More Keith Belcher's MGBGTV8 Adwatch Keith Belcher follows the online adverts for the Factory MGBGTV8 model and reports on a number he has seen recently.150623 More Ten best MGs ranked by the Daily Telegraph What are the best MGs of all time?

Classic Car magazine ran an article by Graeme Hurst in January 2010 which raised the "undiscovered qualities" of the model again: "With just 2591 cars built (compared to the 125,282 regular GTs that rolled out of Abingdon), the BGT V8 is a real rarity in MG terms, yet little more than a footnote in the marque’s history. Throw in the ravages of the British climate and spiralling costs of restoration, and that figure will have been significantly slashed over the years – making a V8 rarer today than many of the hand-built rivals that cost 5-6 times as much when they were new. Surely it is now time for this forgotten great of the classic world to get the recognition it deserves" .This article was originally published in the January 2010 issue of Classic & Sports Car magazine. 160418 Link to the article Check our price guide to MGV8 prices Our price guide was reviewed in February 2014 by Adam Fiander and Victor Smith. 140222 More V8 Register - MG Car Club - the leading group for MG V8 enthusiasts at www.v8register.net
