sale - one of the finest chrome bumper Factory MGBGTV8s in the
UK - SOLD
Black 0974 first registered in May 1974 and the subject
of a meticulous rebuild by Dave Wellings. Since that time the
car has run approximately 11,000 miles. The rebuild, which included
a brand new engine, is photographically documented, the provenance
being enhanced by MOT certificates and tax discs going back
to the seventies, service history, supporting invoices for parts
and labour etc. It even has the original University Motors rear
window decal, and tax disc holder. Included in the sale are
a selection of spare parts and memorabilia relating to this
truly remarkable car. The car has an MOT until May 2011 and
is taxed to October 2010. |

cover and complete vinyl tonneau cover. Black leather seats
with headrests, but otherwise pretty much "as Factory".
Many new parts - in 1980s include new wings and doors, respray,

head gaskets, heater matrix, rear shocks and radiator. Taxed

Private
sale - Factory MGBGTV8 in Bracken
Bracken 1152 (1974) with 87,000 miles with MOTs back to
1991 at 64,000 miles. Extensive paperwork is with the car and
includes the Heritage certificate and full four owner trace
- which lists the first owner with whom I have corresponded.
Paintwork and wheels are reasonable, the car is in generally
very good condition and drives extremely well. Interior has
a quality leather seat upgrade but the car is otherwise pretty
much "as Factory". Many new parts/invoices in the
last few years including front discs and calipers, fuel tank,
overdrive etc. Includes handbook and spare keys. I bought this
car to keep and enjoy long-term but circumstances have changed
and it is, therefore, a reluctant sale. £7,750.

Sale - Factory rubber bumper Press Car
Teal Blue 2101 the first production rubber bumper V8
is reluctantly offered for sale. This well known car was owned
for many years by V8 Register Historian and Archivist, the late
Geoff Allen and latterly his wife Jean. It passed to the present
owner three years ago from Jean Allen. It was also a MG press
car, featured in Autocar and on the 1976 Leyland Calendar, all
of which are in the possession of the current owner. The car
has been preserved exactly as Geoff had left it, with all his
window stickers and a number of little touches that he lavished
on it. There are some chrome-finished parts under the bonnet
and chromed door latches, all part of the spec for the motor
show cars. It has only 91,000 recorded miles. Taxed for 6 months
with a new MoT. Offers around £10,000. (16.6.10)

Beware
of scam from an overseas V8 buyer!
Rick
Morton has reported a scam which members who are selling
a V8 need to note. Rick says "I just thought
I would update you on my experience with trying to sell
my RV8 recently before I withdrew it from sale. Both Jerry
Winfield (Woodcote Green 1684) and I heard from the same
person but I also had several other emails with roughly
the same approach. Basically this person who is overseas
agrees to buy your car, and will send you a cheque for more
than the asking price to cover shipping costs etc. He then
asks if you could bank the cheque and send the balance to
his shipping agent via a money transfer. The cheque bounces
but only after you have sent the cash to the shipping agent.
This scam relies on your ignorance of how the cheque clearing
system works. Problems arise because banks update their
computers on day three of the clearing cycle. So if you
check with them at that time, you may very well be told
that the funds are available. It will only be on day four
that the bank realises that there is a problem, and on day
five that they tell you. Weekends and Bank Holidays all
add to the delay. In my case the scam merchant was going
to send me a cheque for £3,400 more than I was asking
for the car. I was to subtract the cost of the car and send
the remainder to his "shipping agent"." So
members need to be alert to this scam and any approach from
the scam merchant!
