Bronze Yellow 0095, V8 Register, MG Car Club

Trade sale - Development
Pre-production MGBGTV8
SOLD within 3 weeks
Bronze Yellow 0095 (1973) is one of five Development Pre-Production cars made before the MGBGTV8 model was in full production at the Abingdon Factory. It has the original registration OBL 123 L. It has come to light after being tucked away for many years but now needs someone to carry out a full restoration to return it to its former glory. The car has been written about in many books and was known to the late Geoff Allen, the former V8 Historian and Archivist. There is a letter from him in 2005 commenting on the provenance of this car. The car is restorable and would not need reshelling but make no mistake this is a job for a competent car restorer and not a quick make-over job. Basically the car needs new sills and some new panels and, as there is a glass roof in the car, a new secondhand GT roof is available to the buyer. There is also a replacement V8 dashboard with no extra holes drilled. All these items will be included in the sale price of £2,500. There are four new boxed V8 wheels and a full sill kit available for separate negotiation. (10.10.07)
