1275 GT:

https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/product/19 ... -wadham-s/

Is that possibly the worst ever colour/ interior combo ever offered on the 1275GT!? Catshit brown with plain velour trim. At least the later dogshit brown GTs had stripey seats.

That's the splendid combination of Antique Gold and Almond, very rare nowadays.

That will probably get turned into a 10" wheel car in Vermillion with Black chairs no doubt and be advertised as original in six months time.

[Old English White]

Those velour seats never lasted well did they It might be rare but I think that is a ghastly colour The roof looks quite rot-free and it does have the correct steering wheel so there are at least two positive things going for it
To my shame I can remember at work we fitted loads of those dreadful "oversills" to old Minis in the 1970s and 1980s to quickly get them through another MOT or two
I'd quite fancy a 1275GT now but it would have to be earlier than that and in a brighter colour.

Are they not MGB LE wheels or are they the same thing?

[surfblue63]

Yes you are right, those wheels were used by MG, first on the MGB GT V8 and then the 1975 MGB Jubilee. There were supplied by Dunlop so are the D4 wheel.

Memory loss comes to us all in the end. Her indoors is always saying she said this and she said that and I never have any recollection of the conversation, especially if it was more than a day ago.

My wife said "you're not listening to me are you?" That's a funny way to start a conversation I thought...
