Don, if you dont have it, get a copy of "original MGB" by Anders Ditlev
Clausager,
Its the best source of "originality" info - and a dmn fine book anyway!
Colours for 1970 were easy enough
Black (but only as special order)
Antelope beige (GT only)
Bermuda blue
Dark British racing green
Flame red
Bronze yellow
Pale primrose yellow
Glacier white
all interiors were black with black piping that year
Paint codes are in there too but are easier to read in Porters book
