MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Another V8 BBS disappeared?

The internet is fairly new to me and so many MG sites!!
I have converted an MGB to Rover V8 and the first MGV8 BBS I found was;
teamsanctuary.com/mgbv8.htm

I have been unable to open this page for several weeks now. Anyone any idea what has happened or how I can access the site?

Thanks

that website is down at the moment(I tried all my usuall tricks too) although it still appears in the search engines list.

PS
What kind of B have you got your v8 in?

Mine is a 1964 pull out door handle car which I have owned for 33 years. I made the conversion because I always wanted a V8 and there were 2 other coincidences. One was a friend told me about a roadster stored at Kuitpo Forest for 15 years with a Rover V8 and factory gearbox and lots of other standard parts. Rough body though. Second was I picked up a RB body shell which was badly damaged but gave me all the under bonnet shapes I needed. Then there was lots of grafting so it looks like the original factory prototype!! (just kidding) I have copied the factory induction with a Clive Wheatley plenum chamber. I am at North Plympton if you would like a look.
