The key word is "fit". The steel fenders offered by Proper MG are likely the exact same fenders offered by Moss, TRF, and other distributers. I have bought two aftermarket ("repro") steel fenders. Th

One thing to consider - since the new tops have to be glued to the header bar, you have to separate the header bar from the old top first. With that in mind, you want to make sure the glue is a pliab

Pictures just don't seem to really show the color, but Ed is correct. I went with Black Tulip on my 72B. The body shop, as well as most of the people who see the car, refer to the color as "purple."
