Now that I've had a chance to look real close, well shiver me timbers! Them
thar seats is Blue! Now for some close reading in "Original MGB"...the
carpet is black (been replaced though), only the door panels and seats
appear to be "navy".
Just another revelation on this great car that's been so well preserved
(relatively).
Now I'm thinking that ALL Blaze B's came with navy interior! (?) Let's see
if Anders has the answer...
Thanks all. You learn something everyday, dontcha?
