I just went back to look it up in Original MGB (Clausager) which on page
118 notes "The third series of car numbers was that used for the MGB GT V8
which ran from 101 to 2903" (poster indicated he had #2450).
If you know for a fact that the V8 didn't appear until 72 (as some of the
other records indicate) I'll go with it. There's a contradiction - the
tables don't show it until 72 but Clausager said it was a V8. However,
authors aren't always correct, so I'll vote with the tables if you're
convinced.
