A highlight in the long production run of the MGB range was the V8, produced only for a relatively short period including during the changeover to the versions with the big rubber bumpers to suit US regulations. These late chrome bumper V8 cars are highly sought after by collectors. Just 1865 were made, and the model was not sold new in Australia, so they’ve always been very rare.

This attractive example was finished in its original striking Citron yellow colour so evocative of the era – which positively glows in sunlight. Records with the car show it was completed on March 23 1974. There are detailed records with the car in its history file.

In late 2018 it was imported to Western Australia and joined a collection of cars. It was complied, inspected and licensed in 2019. The owner passed away a couple of years ago and the car changed hands to another local collector.

There are records of much work being done keeping the car in fine fettle over the years – with over $10,000 having been spent since its arrival in Perth. It’s a well-sorted car, offering excellent performance, smooth running and a lot of fun. The torquey 3.5-litre V8 suits the light MG well.

While there are some age related items which could be attended to, the car is original and correct and everything works as it should, including the overdrive.

Two sets of numberplates go with the car to a WA buyer, the car presently wearing HEBEGEEBE. Plus the original handbook, history file, jack, etc.
