Description
A rare genuine factory built, chrome bumper car
An excellent example throughout
Last owner for over twenty-five years
Rebuilt and sensibly upgraded engine
"Telling British Leyland what they ought to do has become a national pastime, and one of the most common demands (from Motor among others) as well as one of the most widely forecast events has been the marriage of the popular MGB GT body with Rover’s 3. 5 litre V8 engine. The two together seemed natural, especially after Ken Costello had shown the idea to be practical” Motor, August 25th 1973.
Coming ‘fresh to market’ as they say, this cracker of an MGB GT V8 has been in the seller’s ownership for some twenty-five years and it is only the slow progression of the odometer between MOTs that has prompted its sale; time for someone else to give it the use it deserves. First registered in September 1974, the MGB’s chassis plate displaying its ‘GD2D1’ Chassis Number confirms it to be a genuine factory V8 and in fact the 61st from last of the highly desirable ‘chrome bumper’ examples produced.
For sale via our Berlinetta online auction. Bidding closes Monday 9th October at 8. 00pm.
