The first time I laid eyes on an MGB; it screamed MG Styling,The lines, the curves - it was typical Abingdon. And I knew right then that I had to have one.

Sliding into your MGB's driver's seat, it feels like it was custom-made just for you. The detail, The smell, from the stitching to the design exudes a little luxury and comfort. That's the magic of a perfect interior.
At the NEC Classic car show in November a customer was unsure about upgrading his MGB's interior.
