Chartreuse
2872 is a fine example of a V8 in daily use maintained by an enthusiast
Mike Anderson's MGBGTV8 is finished in Chartreuse, a relatively
rare colour as only nineteen later rubber bumpered V8s were finished
in that colour with a black interior trim. Mike says his V8 "is
used as my daily driver and, whilst not in mint condition, it is
a great machine! There are no modifications except I have fitted
a manual switch for the twin cooling fans because on a couple of
occasions the Otter switch gave up the ghost".

Geoff Allen, the V8 Historian and Archivist, comments "I
have checked on OKE 485 P and had no record of this registration
number, but do know it was registered at Maidstone. In fact two
Chartreuse V8s were invoiced to agents in Dartford both of which
are now on the V8 Register".

It is good to see
a V8 used on a daily basis and looking so well cared for. This set
of photos was supplied by Mike Anderson who took the opportunity of
a sunny day a few weeks ago to take a few digital photos. |
