MGBGTV8
has a rebuild Peter Ellis
originally purchased his MGBGTV8 in 1980 - Damask 2632 - and it was used
as everyday transport for two years, then as a second car for 14 years during
which Peter and Jean attended events throughout the UK and overseas together with
autotests, rallies, concours and touring. Peter sold the car in 1994 when the
bodywork was starting to show signs of needing some major surgery. In
2008 he repurchased the car. The bodywork still needed surgery and so he started
the strip down. The bodywork and painting were completed in early 2010 and the
rebuild took place over the following four years culminating in an MOT in | .
November 2014. The
body colour is now Tahiti Blue and the rubber bumpers have been removed
leaving a clean bumperless front and back. Peter
has sent in a couple of photos along with a copy of his modified wiring diagram
saying he has them "so I dont have to try and remember what I did when
I rebuilt it!". The wiring diagram has a few blanks in it as he has removed
the details of any security devices. He also provides
pictures of the dashboard (covered in leather) as he really like the way it turned
out. Rebuild
