MGB V8 Convertible LHD Year of manufacture: 1972 VIN: GHN52849356 Colour: red, black leather interior. As is well known, there was no original factory convertible version of the V8. However, British MG drivers knew how to help themselves and simply transplanted the Rover V8 into their beloved convertibles. This is what happened with this example in 2002, i.e. 24 years ago; it has a GB registration as a Historic Vehicle. Our collector had meanwhile become so infected with the MGB V8 virus that he absolutely had to add a V8 convertible to his collection. Ten years ago, this particular example impressed him not only visually, but was also documented by numerous invoices totalling over £13,000, proving that this MGB had always been in good enthusiast hands. A subsequent inspection at Croydon Classic was convincing, and our collector promptly invested a further £2,000 to convert it from RHD to left-hand drive. In 2018, consideration was even given to obtaining individual approval for this example. With the conversion of the headlights and a further investment of €833.67, together with a positive TÜV inspection, the first step had been taken, but in the end no application for registration was submitted, especially since several other vehicles belonging to the collector, which already had individual approval certificates, also remained unregistered and were only driven on so-called test-drive plates for movement drives . Thus, this MGB V8 conversion convertible comes with the original vehicle documents. Last started and driven without problems in 2025. When started now in 7/26, it started without problems; the battery needs to be replaced and a check with an oil change is recommended. LIMIT € 25,000.-
