- did not make reserve

Advert says "Fantastic opportunity to restore a genuine Factory chrome bumper MGBGTV8 this car is totally original, no sunroof, original Dunlop wheels, standard air filters and manifolds along with stainless steel exhaust system. This car was stripped in 1990 and all parts where marked and boxed, unfortunately the restoration then was put on hold and the car was put in dry storage. The shell is in very good solid order, apart from the o/s front footwell and sill, although all new quality panels are included in the sale, along with a new old stock drivers door. All the underside has been stripped and appears in excellent order. All parts are with the car except the near side front wing and headlining, all easily sourced. This car comes with lovely original cloth interior, just requires cleaning. This is a golden opportunity to purchase a rare and desirable car that is only for sale due to loss of storage . The car can be viewed at any time ,please no time wasters as I will keep the car and restore it at a later time."
