It was owned for 45 years from 1978 by Jeff Ward.
Bonhams - What We Think
One or two minor cosmetic issues aside, this is an authentic
and original example of what is becoming an increasingly rare
and sought-after model. And this particular example comes with
the inestimable bonuses of Jeff Ward's ownership provenance,
low mileage and plenty of history. Were confident to offer
this fine car for auction with an estimate of £12,000
- £14,000. Viewing is strongly encouraged, and this lot
is located at the Bonhams|Cars Online HQ. Viewings are strictly
by appointment.
See Bonhams|Cars Online webpage
The webpage has a comprehensive set of photos of the car and
a link to a video viewing too.

Our
Pricewatch Review
After many years of disdain with a market that preferred chrome
bumper MGBGTV8s with a consequent price premium, rubber bumper
models are now becoming sought after by MGV8 enthusiasts. This
car is essentially original with the addition of a neat front
spoiler. This car was owned for over 45 years by the late Jeff
Ward, a longstanding V8 Register member who passed away in 2023,
and over recent years had little use on the roads. It has had
some recommissioning by the trader seller. Bonhams|Cars Online
comment "it has one or two minor cosmetic issues, this
is an authentic and original example".
Comment
The auction estimate is low for the condition and originality
of this car. The body colour - Flamenco Red - is very much a
bold MG colour of the late 1970s which suits the MGBGTV8 very
well. If you are looking for a good rubber bumper MGBGTV8 this
is one well worth inspecting in the next few days ahead of the
online auction set for next week.
