MGBGTV8
in Damask sells for £33,600
Historics auction at Brooklands in May 2019
One
of our Pricewatch volunteers attended the H&H auction
at Brooklands on Saturday 18th May 2019 and says the "very
high value lots were within the restricted auction area -
for example the Aston Martin DB6 and its peers. Surprisingly,
the MGBGTV8 was also within this restricted area, given its
somewhat low estimated price and I can vouch for a continued
high level of interest shown in this MG over the seven hours
I was at the auction. Bidding was strong resulting in the
exceptional price including buyers premium and VAT thereon
of £33,600". More

MGBGTV8
in Damask for sale at £37,995
Offered by a trader in
Louth
Trader's website
says "this genuine factory built MGBGTV8 was first registered
September 1973, it has recently undergone a complete nut and
bolt rotisserie restoration to a very pleasing standing. Offered
in Damsk Red with black trim, this restoration included a full
engine rebuild and is fully documented with images and invoices.
The restoration that has taken place recently was intended to
keep the car original as possible and thus as many parts as
possible were restored and reused with only subtle changes such
as larger fans for cooling and leather seats. Since the comprehensive
restoration to this fabulous motorcar, only 600 miles have been
covered. In the history file accompanying the car are restoration
documentation and history from 1979 until 2014 including service
records and a lovely provenance to complement this great vehicle".
