New workshop notes continue to grow
With a welcome flow of new notes our two series of workshop notes continue to grow and provide members with a valuable source of technical and spares information for the MGBGTV8 and MGRV8 models and also MGBV8 Conversions.

The aim is to have information which is accurate and complete, illustrated to help readers follow the text and peer reviewed by fellow members with good technical knowledge.

Some workshop notes are available on the V8 Website which can be found via "key word" search using the search box on the head of the V8 Website homepage.
