Private sale - chrome bumper Factory MGBGTV8
Blaze 1890 (1974) has 58,971 miles has suspension and engine modifications carried out some years ago by Motobuild so it handles really well. Comprehensive servicing records and receipts from the early eighties with photos of a total rebuild during the early nineties and subsequent receipts. My V8 has not been hidden away for sunny days but has been used often for pleasure and occasionally for work.

Trade sale - 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)

Private sale - very attractive Factory MGBGTV8 - SOLD 22.8.07
Moonraker Blue 2408 (P registration 1975) has been owned by me since the late eighties but I have not used it very much. I have quite a full service history. In 1993 I took it to Birmingham and had it fully restored by a retired BL engineer. His friend, who was employed in the BL engine department, worked on the engine. I am confident that they did a thorough job and have all the necessary paper work to support this, as well as full photographic evidence! In total I spent £15,000 - must have been mad, but once you have started on these projects it is not easy to stop! I have only done only 4,000 miles since, so really think I should move it on to a good home. It has only been on the road in the summer months and has been kept in a fully heated garage. It is fully taxed and tested. Offers in the region of £10,000. (3.6.07) More

Private sale - Geoff Allen's V8 Roadster - SOLD early June
Ermin White 4001 (ADO232174) is the V8 Roadster Geoff built for himself in 1980/81 using one of the first rubber bumper LHD shells manufactured in 1974 which had become a Factory "tug". The V8 engine is standard with the Factory carburettor setup and air cleaners, and a standard V8 gearbox with overdrive. The suspension is lowered slightly and the car is fitted with a front spoiler. The wheels are the Factory standard Dunlop composite pattern fitted with Michelin MXV tyres. This V8 has been used on a daily basis so it is not a concours or museum piece. It's an opportunity to own the well built and sorted car that the late Geoff Allen made for Jean and himself to use and enjoy. It was built with the experience of a lifetime spent rectifying MGs off the production line, so he knew them inside out. Reduced to £7,995 ono (28.3.07)

Private sale - MGBGTV8 in Regency Red - SOLD in only just over 3 weeks!
Regency Red 0548 (1973) was originally produced in Teal Blue but the body shell was subject to a major professional restoration in 1995. I bought the car in September 2004 knowing that both doors, both sills, one rear wing, and part of the floorpan needed work, and the paintwork was a bit faded. After professional repair, the vehicle was subjected to a full respray (including the engine compartment) in June 2005. I have the receipts. The reason for sale - I just have too many MGs, including another factory V8 and a 1955 TF1500. Price is £6,500 (22.2.07)

Private Sale - Factory MGBGTV8
Harvest Gold 0157 is a 1973 chrome bumper car in excellent original condition both inside and out, and has had only two previous owners. The previous owner bought it in 1987 when it had covered only 1,500 miles, and immediately had it waxoyled by Beer of Houghton, the MGBV8 specialists. I bought the car in 1990, have waxoyled it every year since, and used it mainly in dry conditions. It has always been garaged and consequently has virtually no rust and all original metalwork. About 12,000 miles ago (in 2000), Beer of Houghton rebuilt the gearbox, fitted a new 3.9 high spec engine, and re-sprayed the car below the waistline to remove the inevitable stone chips. Recent work includes new brake and clutch master cylinders, clutch slave cylinder, overhauled brake servo, and new 6v batteries. The car has an MOT to June 2007, is very reliable, and great fun to drive as the handling has been well sorted and the new 3.9 engine produces a huge amount of power. The reason for sale is that I've recently bought another classic, and now don't use the car enough to justify keeping it. Price £8,250 ono. (20.6.06)

Private sale - V8 Roadster
Teal Blue 4180 (GHN 5315656) is a superb V8 Roadster originally built by Pool Lane Classics to a high standard back in 1990 at a cost of £20K. Since then many additions and improvements have been made to her. This is a superb car throughout which has won pride of ownership awards for the current owner. I have owned it for five years now and looked after her with help from Classic Cars in Twickenham. This is a sad sale but unfortunately a large labrador and wife will not fit in together so she has to go - the car that is! Asking price revised to £9,950 ono.(11.5.06)
