MGBGTV8 test car for auction
Blaze ADO75413G
is up for auction at Barons auction at Sandown Park this evening with
an estimate of £4,500 to £6,000. This MGBGTV8 was built
in 1974 and was a test car for five years in the Special Development
Division at the Factory where it underwent many tests including running
on the MIRA track in the Midlands. It was sold by the Factory in 1979
fitted with a new SD1 engine. On Barons'
website you can see details of this interesting V8. Also this
car is mentioned in the late Geoff Allen's V8NOTE300
in which he indicates there were 2,600 MGBGTV8s including these ADO
cars. This news item was spotted by George Wilder. (1.8.06)
