I am painting my 76 B and I noticed that when I took the front rubber bumper off, everything below it is painted black. This appears to be what it was painted from the factory. I noticed the beautifu

AFAIK. The front and rear were black. All the original cars I have worked on so far have been. At the front they were usually black, rusty and bent. Personally I prefer the front valence painted bod

Mike, I believe that up to '76 the RB cars had the valance painted black, then '77 - on had it painted body color. Clausager's could confirm it but I'm not near my copy at the moment.... However, do

Which is my main gripe with Clausager's book. Many of those pictures are obviously restored examples, instead of period pictures of then-new cars. So frequently what I see in the book are examples o

Hmm, never thought abut that, Chuck, I always assumed that the cars used for the photos in Original MGB were selected for just that reason - they were 'original' or restored to 'original' specs.... W

Well, to my knowledge, Clausager is the best there is for MGs. But 'Restored to original specs' leaves a lot of room for small changes (especially when they were restored before the best available g

Period color photos showing details of production cars are pretty rare. The cars shown at the auto shows of the time were also "dolled up" and aren't necessarily good references. If you read the text
