A genuine British Leyland V8, built in January 1974 and first registered in February of that year, supplied from new by University Motors.  The car is in truly splendid and extremely original condition, having had only five owners in its 49 year life.  The bodywork is all original and the panels fit correctly.  The paintwork was professionally refreshed several years ago and remains pretty much perfect.  The interior of the car again, is mainly as it left the factory with the exception of replacement leather seats.  The headlining, door cards, carpets and seats, are, as mentioned, first class, as is the dashboard.  The original wheels have been restored and the quality tyres are all matching Uniroyals.  The spare wheel compartment is very clean and tidy as is the under-bonnet area, all commensurate with the excellent overall condition.  The underside of the car is well Waxoyled and undersealed, this work having been carried out regularly.  The car has been properly maintained, serviced and kept up to scratch by Beers of Houghton – a very well respected MG garage, which also carried out over the years, a considerable amount of restoration work including to the engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes and the paintwork as mentioned above.  The car performs extremely well, with well sorted engine, giving plenty of power – a nice quick V8.  Oil pressure is good, no overheating, good gearbox, overdrive, quiet back axle, and good brakes.  Electronic ignition has been fitted.  The car comes with MOT to February 2026, the original sales invoice, Heritage Certificate and all original Leyland paperwork.  This must be one of best genuine V8s for sale at the moment.
