A more powerful alternative to the standard MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory cars produced 137bhp - sufficient output for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and top speed of 125 mph. Production of the V8 was curtailed in 1976 after some 2,591 had been built. 'OOO 430M' is a tidy-looking home market example that hails from the first year of production. It sports White bodywork complemented by Black interior trim and has been in current ownership since 2005. Displaying a credible 84,000 miles the MG is offered with original handbook and V5C document. The vendor now views the bodywork, 3528cc engine, gearbox, interior plus paintwork as 'Good' and is offering the B V8 with an MOT certificate into April 2019.
