‘Mee-maw, mee-maw, mee-maw. Come in, come in, this is the law!’ Sorry I couldn’t resist it, but rest assured I’ll refrain from nipping into full-on Z-Cars repartee.

Buy this MGB GT V8 though, and you’ll have an instant talking point. It’s absolutely pitch perfect for any classic car show, Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional (except of course, it is) or even for television work. And the owner will vouch for there being a great ex-police-car club scene.

Its previous two owners have gone to great lengths to ensure that it’s absolutely spot on, and period correct. With its current owner no longer able to drive it, this needs to go to a new custodian who can.

That someone will be buying a lovely slice of British motoring, and police, history. Couple that with its excellent condition and we think between £18,000 and £24,000 ought to secure it.

V8-powered white fuzz nirvana awaits.

BORING, but IMPORTANT: Please note that whilst we at The Market always aim to offer the most descriptive and transparent auction listings available, we cannot claim they are perfect analyses of any of the vehicles for sale. We offer far greater opportunity for bidders to view, or arrange inspections for each vehicle thoroughly prior to bidding than traditional auctions, and we never stop encouraging bidders to take advantage of this. We do take a good look at the vehicles delivered to our premises for sale, but this only results in our unbiased personal observations, not those of a qualified inspector or other professional, or the result of a long test drive.

Additionally, please note that most of the videos on our site have been recorded using simple cameras which often result in 'average' sound quality; in particular, engines and exhausts notes can sound a little different to how they are in reality.
