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.
