A rare opportunity to purchase a genuine factory-built Chrome Bumper 1974 MGB GT V8, finished in the iconic Citron Yellow and presented in exceptional condition. One of only 2, 591 factory GT V8s produced, this beautifully presented example has been cherished throughout my 7 years of ownership, always garaged since the restoration work was completed.
