This lovely MGB GT V8 was manufactured by British Leyland UK Limited, at Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1974 and registered 20th June 1974. It was sold to the first owner by Cambridge Road Garage Ltd, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire on 27th June 1974.
There is a huge history folder with invoices and correspondence from new and MOT certificates from its first test in May 1977. These prove the mileage as genuine. The folder includes tax discs back to 1976, the original Austin Morris Service Passport, original Handbook and a genuine Workshop Manual.

Externally the Damask bodywork is in very good condition. The paint has a superb shine. The original chrome V8 wheels are in good condition with 4 good tyres. The chrome is bright and offset nicely against the dark red paint.
Internally the all black trim and seats are all correct for the model year. The door cards are new and the black seat covers are in the original black velour. Matching black trim panels and black carpet throughout all in good condition. The dashboard is in original black crackle finish and there is a black leather rimmed 15" Moto-Lita steering wheel with flat polished aluminium spokes.

This really is a lovely example in great condition having been carefully maintained over the years. It has many new parts and a superb history.
We are offering it on behalf of the owner on a commission sale basis.
