British Leyland cast logo placement on MGB

[Guest Hillock]

Does anyone know where the British Leyland cast logo plate was placed on the 1980 MGB's? A link to the Moss web site that shows a picture of the logo is included below. The Moss web site says....

"...We took original samples and matched both the color and the design to get accurate reproductions of the two most popular versions of these emblems. Both feature self-adhesive backing for easy installation on the original fender location. In 1972 the cast version was introduced and was typically seen on the left hand fender of LHD cars..."

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

According to Original MGB with MGC and MGB GT V6 by Anders Ditlev Clausager (1994): "The British Leyland front wing (fender) badge was deleted in December 1977." (p. 21)

This book is an excellent resource, and I'd suggest having one on hand for your restoration.
