Black 3119 is a 1978 MGBGTV8 conversion with a 3.5 litre fuel
injected Rover engine which was comprehensively converted in 1998
with Clive Wheatley parts and a full bare metal body restoration
with a photographic record. The car has a current MOT with no faults
and has 57,000 recorded miles. Car is in excellent condition, benefiting
from the necessary bespoke bonnet incorporating a large bulge with
vents either side. The car was originally a white rubber bumper
1.8 BGT, but was subsequently converted to fuel injection V8, and
had all necessary modifications as prescribed, including V8 brakes
and uprated suspension.
The car is lowered to chrome bumper specification and also benefits
from having had a chrome bumper conversion at the time of restoration,
equipped with genuine minilites and a new set of wider tyres. The
rear springs and shockers were recently replaced. It has a rebuilt
Rover SD1 gearbox and an MGC back axle with the correct drive ratio.
There is also a twin Kenlow fan system which is thermostatically
controlled with the added bonus of a manual override. The ECU was
replaced in 2003. Since owning the car I have replaced the rear
suspension, installed a new

reconditioned gearbox,
heater matrix, new light units, and replacement of the thermo control
in the engine management. The car has black cloth interior with
the updated dashboard all in very good condition and with everything
working. The car has the original spare wheel, toolkit and handbook.
The mileage is believed to be genuine as that of the V8 engine when
transplanted. The car comes complete with a large history file with
many past MOTs, bills and photographs of its restoration and conversion.
I have owned the car for the last 12 months and had a fantastic
time with it, but a relocation and new job with high mileage necessitate
a change of plan. £9,000. (12.10.05)
