1967 MGBGT MK1 V8 ORIGINAL GRAMPION GREY WITH RED LEATHER For Sale

1967 MGB GT MK1 V8 "COSTELLO CONVERTION" ???

The car has been in storage for over 37 years


This may well be a Costello MGB V8 ??? although I cannot confirm that! ..... the gearbox has an adaption plate used by Costello and there are very few MK1 GT’s with a V8 fitted, it has the later recessed grill that was used, also the MOT’s show the 3500cc V8 was in the car as early as 1985 and possibly before.

Please note no reverse lights and narrow tunnel.


First registered 20th November 1967 just two owners from new V5 shows 4 since 1977 however two owners are the same.




A VERY SOLID BODYSELL WITH EXCELLENT FLOORS, NEW CASTLE SECTIONS TOGTHER WITH NEW INNER AND OUTTER SILLS BOTH SIDES.



THE LOVELY RED INTERIOR HAS SURVIVVED WELL WITH ONLY THE FRONT SEATS NEED RECOVERING



I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME ON THE ENGINE REPLACING THE S. U's WITH AND EDELBROCK INLET MANIFOLD TOGTHER WITH A 390 HOLLY CARB, THE ENGINE NOW PERFORMS LOVELY AND PULLS STRONG WITH A LOVELY STEADY TICKOVER. THE GEARBOX FUNCTIONS WELL WITH A POSITIVE ENGAGING OVERDRIVE. THE SUSPENSION PERFORMES WELL AS DO THE BRAKES / HANDBRAKE.

NOW FITTED WITH A COSTELLO BONNET.


THE WONDERFULL V8 IS A 10. 5-1 COMPRESSION ENGINE WITH THE BETTER FLOWING HEADS, IT OFFERS PLENTY OF GRUNT FOR SPIRITED DRIVING AND LAZY UNSTRESSED TORQUE BY THE BUCKET LOAD WHEN CRUISING WITH THE OVERDRIVE ENGAGED ....... OH YES, AND THAT SOUND TRACK .... HARD TO BEAT



TWIN ELECTRIC FANS ARE FITTED ON A MANUAL SWITCH



FITTED WITH A SET OF BRAND NEW 15" MINILIGHT COPYS IN GLOSS BLACK / MACHINED RIMS PLUS FOUR NEW 185/ 60/ 15 TYRES WHICH LOOK SUPERB AND REALLY SUIT THE CAR



TO SUMMERIZE .... A RARE EARLY MK1 BGT IN EVEN RARER GRAMPION GREY WITH RED LEATHER INTERIOR AND THE LOVELY EARLY UNSPOILT DASH STILL AS IT SHOULD BE. NOW FITTED WITH THE ALL ALLOY "BUICK / ROVER" V8 ENGINE THIS IS WHAT THE FACTORY SHOULD HAVE DONE BEFORE KEN COSTELLO DID! AL ADD'S UP TO A FANTASTIC CLASSIC COMBINATION THAT'S HARD TO BEAT! ..... THERE ARE STILL A FEW JOBS TO FINISH, FRONT SEATS, WINDSCREEN SUROUND WHICH IS PRESENT, AND REALLY DESERVS A BESPOKE EXHAUST SYSTEM FITTING.


WHETHER FOR COMPITITION USE OR JUST BURBLING AROUND THE COUNTRY LANES, IT WILL BE PRETTY UNIQUE BEING A MK1 BEING SO PLANE AND SIMPLE, A REFRESHING CHANGE FROM THE ENDLESS "SEBRING" COPYS!



THE LATER FACTORY V8 CARS ARE NOW COMMANDING WELL NORTH OF £20K, SO TO FIRSTLY FIND AN EARLY CAR IN THIS CONDTION, NO DOUBT DUE TO IT'S 37 YEAR LAY UP, AND THEN CARRY OUT THE CONVERTION TO THIS LEVEL WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSIBLE FOR MY PRICE IMO!

PRICE ........ £14, 995 ono.


PLEASE CALL ..... ZERO SEVEN EIGHT ONE EIGHT .... ZERO THREE, TWO THREE, SIX SIX.

PART EXCHANGE POSSIBLE ?
