Rare V8 Roadster
Built by Beer of Houghton for Barry Boyd in 1982 on one of the original Factory O-series MGB Roadster shells and finished in Ermin White, it was originally registered as RUD 224T (now 3621 MG). It was later off the road for over 30 years and in need of some recommissioning when Peter Ellis (Workshop Notes Editor) acquired it and carried out a restoration. Now owned by David Gillingham in West Yorkshire.

Note on initial stages of the restoration (Peter Ellis). Note

Stuart, Michelle and Clive were on the MGV8Parts stand in the V8 Register Gazeebo which was attracting considerable interest this morning. Clive is a longtime sponsor of the V8 Register and is active in resourcing parts - for example the rear lamp units for the RV8 model which had gone NLA with a few rare units fetching eye watering prices online. Clive Wheatley resourced the lamps with the lenses produced using 3D printing. That revived the availability of an essential replacement part which was a lifesaver for some RV8 owners.
