Condition
7
The car has had some work done, including a re-trimmed interior and over £13,000 in expenditure since 2015. There's no mention of significant damage, but the wear on paint, interior, or wheels would suggest it's not in top condition.

A more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit.
Though inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph.
As the all-alloy Rover engine was lighter than the cast-iron BMC unit, no significant changes were required to the rest of the car.
Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 (reputedly over BLMC's concern it would affect sales of other products - in particular, the dearer, less powerful Triumph Stag) after some 2,591 had been built.
Supplied to a Mrs J Hardy of Chesterield on November 30th 1973, this example displays a warranted c.49,000 miles from new with only 4 former keepers, evidenced by MOT's and invoices as well as a written mileage record.
