Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 MG MGB V8 is presented as a barn find, needing significant re-commissioning and restoration after being stored for over 30 years. It comes with a Rover V8 engine and its original interior, along with a transferable cherished registration number.
While the body shell appears solid and the red paint retains some vibrancy, it shows signs of age including rust and minor imperfections. The interior is complete but requires attention, with torn seats and worn carpets. The car is not currently running, the engine hasn't been started in decades, and mechanical components like brakes and electrics are untested, though the engine has reportedly been turned over recently. Despite these needs, the car is described as a solid candidate for restoration, combining V8 power with a complete package, and includes historical paperwork and extras.

The car is described as a barn find that needs re-commissioning and restoration. While the shell is described as solid, the paint has rust around the headlamps and bubbles on the bonnet, and there are scratches. The interior needs work, with torn seats and worn carpets. Mechanically, the engine hasn't run in decades, and while it turns over, the brakes and electrics are untested. The tyres also need replacing. This indicates noticeable wear and a need for moderate reconditioning.

It’s been in the garage for over 30 years and is now looking for a new home.
This is a nice candidate for a heavy re-commissioning to make a driveable classic V8, or for a full restoration into a mint, low-owners car.
The car combines V8 power with complete interior and a solid-looking shell - see mechanical photographs.
It’s been stored in the dark and dry for over 30 years.
The history is presented with the car with a few added extras (including vintage ‘MG Club’ stickers)
