Introduction

Every time you turn the key and hear that V8 roar it just makes your day - my wives favourite classic car of mine and she does not even like cars.

Starts first time straight forward easy to maintain - the V8 engine is bullet proof spares are cheap!

I have owned this car for ~8 years and it was my second classic car - I’m selling it because I’m buying a house and need to raise some additional cash.

The car has been dry stored for the last 8 years and serviced every year.

I like my cars to be in tip top condition and therefore spend money on them to get them up to a high standard - the car has been repainted in its original colour of BRG and has the V8 wheels from the MGBC.

The car is an original MGB 1969 (as shown on the V5) chrome bumper car. In recent years the car has had a new hood, tyres, re-chromed bumpers, refurbished seats electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust, new brakes and brake lines, starter motor, batteries, radio, door-cards, coil, interior front carpets.

This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

---------------------------------------------
From Trade Classics:

This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.

Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.

Hi Martin,
Was this originally a V8, or a later conversion?
What gearbox/how many speed is in the car?
Thanks, Nige
