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.

Market Auction

Martin, the seller, has created this listing themselves using our free Market Auction tool. Unlike our Curated Auctions, we haven’t photographed the car or written the listing, however we have completed 3 important security checks for your peace of mind.

V5C Checked

Martin provided a copy of the V5C logbook, which we verified against his photo ID for name and address confirmation.

ID Checked

Martin provided his photo ID, which we verified against the name and address on the V5C logbook.

Exterior

With the V8 wheels and the BRG paint work, the car along with the V8 engine note, is a real head turner.

Wheels and Tyres

Tyres good condition as well as the wheels.

Bodywork

The previous owner kept the car in a small garage and therefore all the little digs were rectified when the car was repainted two years ago.

No rust as far as I can ascertain.

Underside is very solid.

Paint

Excellent condition - please review the images.

Glass and Trim

Glass and trim in good condition - no chips.

---------------------------------------------
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.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price that the seller will let the car go for. We work with sellers to set realistic reserves in line with market pricing – we don’t take on vehicles with unrealistic pricing. Reserve met / not met labeling may or may not be announced during the auction – this is just like a traditional auction house, i.e. bidders may only know when they’ve been successful at the end of the auction.

    If the reserve hasn’t been met at the end of the auction then we work with the highest bidder to try to work out a deal with the seller.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.
