Chrome
bumper MGBGTV8 sold at SWVA auction now on offer with a 37% uplift
This
upgraded MGBGTV8 was reported sold at the SWVA auction the other day for £13,810
(including the buyer's premium and VAT) and has promptly appeared for sale at
£18,950 - a 37% uplift of £5,140.
Comment:
With
small production figures, the MGBGTV8 represents great value. This example has
been repainted in Mineral Blue, originally finished in Bracken, and 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.
