Private sale - Factory rubber bumper MGBGTV8
Black 2888 (1976) is the 15th from last car built finished in its original black with black interior. (Only 29 cars had this combination). The car comes with a comprehensive history file going back to 1980 during which time over £7,000 has been spent on restoration of the car. I have spent over £3,000 in the last two years. In 1980 it underwent a major restoration that included new front wings, outer sills, inner diaphragm sills and rear quarter wings. The paintwork still looks as good now as when it was first sprayed.

In the two years that I have owned the car, it has undergone a major under-bonnet refurbishment, comprising new servo, re-built clutch and brake master cylinders, completely rebuilt carb assembly, rebuilt Smiths heater box with new matrix, all new hoses etc etc. All ancillary under-bonnet components have been stripped and repainted, bringing the engine bay up to virtual show condition.

Last year I discovered that the cross-member was weak around the jacking points. At first we were going to repair the end sections, but the cross member had started to 'blow away' from the floor. It could have been patched up, but to do a proper job I was advised that both the cross member and both floors should be replaced. This is what I opted for, together with new inner step-sills and castle rails. Needless to say, this V8 is one of the most structurally sound cars you will ever find. To finish the car off, I have replaced much of the interior including new seat squab foams, diaphragms, door and side trims and a new high-grade carpet set.

This car is not perfect; after all it is over 30 years old! However, she looks lovely and drives like a dream and that is all you have to do. Get in, drive and enjoy!
A new project means that my 1976 Factory MGBGTV8 is reluctantly for sale. A new commitment means that I am looking for a quick sale hence the price, only £5,500. (24.6.08)
