| MGBGTV8
with "few modifications" Keith Belcher has spotted a restored Factory rubber bumper MGBGTV8 which looks to be in good Condition 1 but claims "few modifications from when it left the Factory". But clearly there have been a number of mechanical, bodywork and trim modifications or replacements as noted in our checklist. Checks with the V8 Database MGBGTV8 Black 2286 was registered many years ago by a member in Wales and the advert seen on the internet shows the car is for sale in Wales. Factory production records check A check for Car No/VIN 2286 using our copy of the Factory production records shows this car was built in 1975 and was finished in Black. MOT check Checking the MOT history for the car shows the car as "Red". Keith Belcher reports a response to a query on Facebook from Robert Evans saying "It was painted badly by a so called expert. so had done back to original colour last summer. Just haven't got round to sending log book off to dvla due to my health problems. nothing more than that!". So that clears that concern. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ How do you price a modified car? Our Price Guide update released in November 2017 shows a Condition 1 rubber bumper car at £18,460 and a chrome car at £20,590. Our report with that guide mentioned two trends: first the premium for a chrome bumpered car over a good quality RB car was narrowing and second our analysis suggested there are signs the attraction of tastefully upgraded V8s is growing in the marketplace. That trend seems to be continuing with the development of two parallel markets for Condition 1 MGBGTV8s – one for near original Factory spec cars and another for upgraded cars, often tastefully upgraded. .
