1974 Factory MGB GT V8 | 12 Months Of Ownership: The Breakdowns, The Costs And The Plans For 2025.

The highs and the lows of classic car ownership are all part of the journey, and the truth is, at some point it’s going to cost you money, but exactly how much has it cost to use and improve my factory MGB GT V8 over the last 12 months? Join me as I reflect on what’s gone wrong, add up the total costs of repairs, and discuss ‘what’s next?’ for my MG. There’s not a huge amount of content on these rare MGs, so I hope documenting my ownership journey helps inform those simply curious about how unreliable and how expensive to maintain a 50+ year old V8 British classic really is.
