What is a 1973 MG MGB GT V8 worth today?

That sits below the $13,830 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median.

About the 1973 MG MGB GT V8
The MGB GT V8 represents one of Britain's most tantalizing 'what-ifs' – a factory hot rod that should have conquered the world but barely made a dent. With Rover's lightweight aluminum 3.5-liter V8 shoehorned into the familiar GT body, performance jumped dramatically: 7.7 seconds to 60mph versus the four-cylinder's leisurely 12-second sprint. Only 2,591 were built between 1973-76, making this the holy grail of MGB variants. The conversion required flared wheel arches, different suspension, and a distinctive hood bulge, creating an unmistakably purposeful stance. Factory V8s command serious money today, with genuine examples increasingly rare. Many four-cylinder cars have been converted, making provenance crucial for collectors seeking this ultimate expression of Abingdon's engineering prowess.
