The late MGBs, which had door speakers, used to run the speaker wire out
along the top of the top door hinge. There were special clips to keep the
wire with the hinge as the door was opened. That way any slack went back
into the door jamb. Within the door it then tracked down inside to the
speakers.
There is a hole in the front edge of most doors which looks as though it
was meant for speaker wires. It may have been the intention but was not
what the factory did.
