Middlebridge 76
November 2024
On one of my trips to the UK I went to Nottingham, where on April 10 1989 I visited the new Middlebridge factory at Beeston and met with Terry Drought the sales director.
During this visit I was very impressed with the whole setup of the new factory and by the end of the day I had decided to by a new Middlebridge , Left Hand drive with all available options they could deliver. As a special the car has a good working air-conditioning, cruise control and radio player with CD and Wifi.
After waiting a year Middlebridge 76 was delivered just before the factory went into liquidation.
So in 1990 I got MB 76 with a 2.9 litre Scorpio V6 engine, 4 speed automatic, pearlescent racing black with grey interior and a sun roof. The car is in a good overall condition with usual Middlebridge features of galvanised chassis, stainless exhausts and fuel tank, and electric windows and mirrors.
I have owned this car now for 33 years and during that time it has always been garaged. Pretty much everything on it works as it should. Although the body paint is original and also 33 years old it is still in a reasonable condition. The interior is in a good shape and also there has been no engine problems after 182,000 miles.
Since purchase, the car has been in the hands of Alex Kleinhuis garage in VALKENBURG Z-H in the Netherlands who specialises in Classics. The car has been kept in a dry garage and remains in good condition. The latest checkup on the car was in June and the regular APK Inspection is valid until 23/10/2025.
My reason for selling is that I have reached an age of 84 where reluctantly I need to reduce my number activities and toys!!
Asking price is € 24.000 (Circa £20,000 depending on exchange rates).
The car comes with:
- Cherished registration G1 GTE
- Full year's APK (MoT) to 23 October 2025
- 2 sets of keys
- Jack and full size spare wheel with wheelbrace
- New Middlebridge sew-on badges.
- USB memory stick of photos and documentation in the Dutch language
- Set of original 'H' registration plates
The Car is located on the Kaag (island) in the Netherlands near to Amsterdam and approx. 15 miles from Schiphol airport
