Looking at the very sad photos of the two MGBGTV8s one can only wonder how on earth anyone with any fondness for classic cars can keep cars in this state - it defies any understanding. But the good news is they will soon be auctioned and then hopefully they will be purchased by enthusiasts who will want to refurbish and cherish them. Both cars are early models - Blaze 115 was built 6 months before the launch of the MGBGTV8 in August 1973 and became a pre-production public relations car for "press car" use ahead of the launch. Teal Blue 583 went into the dealer network in the month after the launch. See our MGV8 Price Guide. More See our other information in our PriceWatch series.

It was later owned by Edward & Philip Armitage in Suffolk. A subsequent incomplete entry on the V8 Database indicates the car had passed to an unknown owner, presumably the "collector in Norfolk".

There has been no subsequent registration so the car has dropped off the radar, presumably acquired by the "collector in Norfolk".
