Thanks to the accompanying Heritage Certificate we know a good deal about the origins of this impressive MGB GT V8.
The car’s chassis number suffix of 527 confirms it as the 526th iteration of this model to leave Abington.
It was produced between the 8th and 13th August 1973.
It was dispatched from Abingdon on the 15th August heading to dealers Henleys of Northampton.
The car was factory finished in Teal Blue paintwork with a cloth trimmed interior in an Autumn Leaf hue.
Factory options included Dunlop cast alloy wheels and Laycock overdrive.
Between August 1973 and March 1999, the V8 would be enjoyed by eight registered keepers.
In 1999 the MG was acquired by current keeper, Kim.
At that stage the BGT V8 arrived with Kim having previously enjoyed both a full Oselli engine rebuild (in 1986) and a full body restoration and respray (in 1989).
Kim reports that a further body restoration and rebuild was undertaken in 2021 with accompanying receipts within the paperwork archive.
