Hello Don, thank you very much for your reply and the helpful information. What are the original colours of the MGB?
Colours depend upon whether it is a MK I – 1962>1967 Nurburg White & Champion Red were 2 very popular colours. There were Blues & Greys. “Katoomba Grey” was an extremely popular colour, to the extent that delivery time was months. Check this for a colour combination — Katoomba Grey, Purple carpets, Red seats and trim with Grey piping, AND, this was the most sought after Factory combination!!!! I bought my only (NEW) MGB in 1965, Nurburg White, Red seats & trim with White piping, almost slept in it. To-day I now think the colour combinations on offer at that time are …….. MK II – 1968>1970 Sandown Red, Jet Red and Snow White, Alpine White, Jade Blue were most popular. Mid 1970 > mid 1974 became an MG BL (British Leyland assumed control) saw the event of Gold colours being very sought after — Camino Gold, Portifino Gold, Bronze Gold – all colours to-day are considered “awful”, for want of a better description. Whites, Blues, and Reds took second place in the choice department. From
