Location of the V8 badge on the chrome bumper grille

Peter Spurrs posted a query on the V8 Bulletin Board seeking clarification of where the V8 badge is located on the plastic mesh forming the grille on the chrome bumper MGBGTV8. Peter noted that "looking at photos on various sites, there seems to be two choices: in the middle of the nearside panel and halfway between the central MG badge and the nearside overrider. Any ideas on how they came out of the Factory?"

The photo above is from a press relations photo released at the time of the launch of the MGBGTV8 in August 1973.

Measurements provided by Victor Smith of the location of the V8 badge on his MGBGTV8 built in December 1973 when production was underway.
