Comment:
With
small production figures, the MGBGTV8 represents great value. This example has
been repainted in Mineral Blue, originally finished in Bracken, has it has an
upgraded engine with a Piper camshaft and Holley carburettor. The roof has a black
roof covering matching the sunshine roof with the addition of the rubber bumper
flashes behind the side windows. The engine bay shows signs of rust, the interior
seats look tired. It appears to be a Condition 2 car and at the estimated price
it looks attractive. |
