Ridett from West Sussex has been in touch commenting "I recently attended
the Classic Car show at the NEC and spoke to fellow members on on the MG Car Club
stand about a feature on the fascia of my Factory MGBGTV8. I have been very intrigued
concerning the facia design of my car as the dashboard dimmer rheostat and the
clock are reversed compared to all other V8s I have seen, i.e. the dimmer is in
the centre of the facia and the clock in front of the steering wheel, an arrangement
I have not seen on any other car. I am attaching a photograph to indicate the
arrangement, do you think this is a one off?"

Smith responded "I am reasonably certain the clock in your fascia is a modification
made by an owner of your car at some stage as I have never seen it as an original
Factory feature. It does look useful I must say." Has any fellow member seen
this modification before?
