1974 MG BGT V8
This is a genuine factory-built MG BGT V8, finished in grey with red interior, one of the most attractive and timeless colour combinations available on these sought-after British GT cars.
This early 1974 example was the 35th factory V8 produced during the 1974 model year and has covered just 38,000 miles from new. Restored in 2010 and subsequently maintained regardless of cost, it combines originality, documented provenance and carefully considered upgrades that enhance reliability.
Powered by the renowned Rover 3.5-litre V8 and paired with the desirable 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, the car offers effortless performance, relaxed long-distance cruising and the unmistakable soundtrack that has made the factory V8 one of the most collectable MGB derivatives.
