Seen on two websites: Carsales & Lorbeck This MGBGTV8 is Harvest Gold 0811 originally owned by Peter Laidler (alongside) who contributed many V8NOTES in the early volumes during the 1970s and 80s. He was a local policeman in Oxfordshire and a very pleasant person. The registration on the V8 Database, the notes on the copy of the Factory production control records we hold and the photo all indicate the colour of the bodyshell is Harvest Gold and not Sandglow yellow.
