Description Choice upgrades; recent respray; intriguing history First registered in September 1972 and showing 62,935 miles, this charming V8 MGB GT recently benefitted from a full respray in its original black.
Fitted with a Weber carburettor and starting promptly, this MG is rumoured to have Costello connections and was previously owned by Mike Randal ('Mike the Pipe'), a manufacturer of high quality exhausts who supplied most Formula 1 teams in the '70s.
Presenting in nice 'useable' condition, the front seats have been retrimmed in the original brown vinyl, the rear seats look to be original in brown fabric and vinyl, the car looks well after its trip to the bodyshop some 8 months ago.
Although never intended to be a show queen, the paintjob is good and holds its own in our classic garage.
Under the bonnet we find the trusty Rover 3.5-Litre V8 with a dusting of choice upgrades, putting all its power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
