According to WSM drawings and Clausager roadsters got a boot light and =
GTs a loadspace light for the 1971 model year.  That began in August 70 =
so some cars built from then to the end of the year should have it.

AFAIK on GTs it was always screwed to the rear cant rail just in front =
of the hatch opening, with a hatch switch providing the earth in the =
upper right-hand corner as you look at the back of the car from outside. =
 The 12v supply came from a purple wire in the rear harness, that goes =
up behind the right-hand C-post trim panel.

If you Google something like 'MGB rear cant rail' or headlining you =
should find some pictures.

BTW, the MGB V8 list is no more.

Hi Barrie,

I have two interior lights in my early (Feb) 1971 GT:

1 at the dashboard above the transmission tunnel

2 above the rear hatch door. The light can be activated by a switch operate=
d when the hatch opens, or an internal switch in the light assembly.

If you like, I can make some pictures and send these over.

Cheers,

Hans

Hello folks,

I have had this wire hanging out of the headliner lightly dangling in front=
 of the rear  widow.  For years I have been meaning to fix it but I am at a=
 loss!   There is no rear courtesy light or place to put one.   There is no=
 power on the wire and I am about to check for earth.   But I would like to=
 know if a 1970 MGB GT had a light at the back - which I assume would go on=
 when a door was opened?   The Moss catalog shows one but not where it is p=
laced.  Where is it placed?   Thank you in advance for responses.

Barrie
