| 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.
