Factory MGBGTV8 sold in less than 10 days
Dr David Catterick from Durham contacted us yesterday to say he has bought the MGBGTV8 advertised on the V8 Website by Paul Tebbett. It was a good looking, low mileage example which had been owned for many years by H Burridge in Dorset. The sale was achieved in barely 10 days showing again that good MGV8s sell well on the V8 website.

David contacted the V8 Webmaster a couple of weeks ago seeking advice on getting an MGBGTV8 and had clearly done his homework - he had bought a copy of our buying guide "So you want to buy an MGV8?" and had studied the advice and vehicle inspection checklists available through the buyinganmg.com website using our homepage link. He was a little puzzled, as many of us were, by the strange bidding for a Damask V8 on eBay and valued the advice in our buying guide on checking the bodywork carefully and taking particular care with cars with chrome oversills. They can hide a great deal of trouble!
The advert for this low mileage example David has got is reproduced below.

Private sale - Factory MGBGTV8 in Bracken
Bracken 1152
(1974) with 87,000 miles with MOTs back to 1991 at 64,000 miles. Extensive paperwork is with the car and includes the Heritage certificate and full four owner trace - which lists the first owner with whom I have corresponded. Paintwork and wheels are reasonable, the car is in generally very good condition and drives extremely well. Interior has a quality leather seat upgrade but the car is otherwise pretty much "as Factory". Many new parts/invoices in the last few years including front discs and calipers, fuel tank, overdrive etc. Includes handbook and spare keys. I bought this car to keep and enjoy long-term but circumstances have changed and it is, therefore, a reluctant sale. £7,750. (5.7.10) More
