The
marketing brochures for the MGBGTV8 still look as exciting
as ever over 30 years later. This collection has been
assembled from copies of original brochures loaned by
members so we can have a reference set available online.
The collection is provided on the basis that any copies
made shall be for personal reference only and shall
not be used for sale or trading. For V8 prices see MG
Prices 1974.

MG.
The Freeway.
Publication No 3148/B 3/76
Another joint Midget, MGB Roadster, MGBGT and MGBGTV8 brochure
which refers to the V8 as "last word in sports motoring"
and "this is the ultimate MG". As the country
had just been through a fuel crisis, the brochure notes "the
MGBGTV8 has a lightweight aluminium 3,532cc V8 engine capable
of a breath-taking 125mph" with "0-50 in 5.9
seconds. And MG know-how keeps the fuel consumption to an astonishing
low". Ian Ailes has loaned his copy so we can have
a reference copy available online.

Publication No 3089 10/74
Another joint MGBGT & V8 brochure which features the rubber
bumpered models. The message is typical of the mid 1970s with
an emphasis on "sports cars for the decision maker
- stylish world-beaters for the man who demands something
extra from his leisure machine". This brochure has
the addendum on the back cover mentioning that "overdrive
is now fitted as standard equipment on GT models".
