Private sale - automatic V8 Roadster

was professionally built by Trevor Taylor Conversions at a cost of £19,000 and delivered to the original owner at the beginning of 2000. The shell was rebuilt and virtually every panel replaced.

The gearbox is a Borg Warner 65 box that was supplied and fitted by Maidstone Sports Cars without disturbance to the original shell and using MGB standard automatic interior fittings. The last owner from whom I purchased the car carried out an extensive £7,000 programme of works to the highest standard by Clive Wheatley and Surrey Classics (receipts available) and I have replaced the carburettor with a new 4 barrel Holley and standard cam to tune the car for touring rather than sprinting.

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)

(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.

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)

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)
