1976 MGB GT V8

INFORMATION
New into The Forge Prees is this very smart factory V8, UK home market car in Tahiti Blue that has been enhanced with a chrome bumper conversion and is in lovely condition throughout including underneath.
NUF 324P is a very smart 1976 MGB V8 that comes with a BMIHT Heritage Certificate stating it left the works on 23rd January 1976 destined for Kennings Ltd, Harrogate. The build sheet details that NUF 324P was factory finished with cast alloy wheels, overdrive, Tahiti blue paint along with black upholstery which it carries to this day.
NUF 324P has been extremely well cared for and there are plenty of bills on file to support this, the most recent for a professional retrim of the front seats fully corded nylon seats in their original material in July 2023 at a cost of £660.00.
Looking very sharp, with good panel fit, paintwork and smart interior, the engine is turbine-smooth, the overdrive is fully functioning, and the underside is in superb order.
A past owner has added a chrome bumper conversion kit, aside from which the car looks in original and standard spec, and certainly represents one of the straightest examples we have seen in sometime.
NUF 324P was last sold in May 2023 for £18,500 by MG specialist Former Glory UK.
NUF 324P comes with a great history file that includes a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, V5C, mot certificates, many receipts, and the factory original MGB GT V8 Drivers Handbook.
If an MGB V8 is on your shopping list, this example is well worth a good look - it is a fine car indeed.
This Classic Motor vehicle is UK Road Tax, MOT and ULEZ exempt.
