MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I have a 1979 Pagent blue roadster. I want to replace the origianl interior, after this many years it's looking a little tatty. The upholstery appear to be a light tan/beige/ etc. color. Anyone know what the correct name for this color is?
Thanks Bill

Unless you are going for a 100% restoration (and we have seen where that can lead) I would swap out the beige for Moss' or Prestige's light tan leather. It really 'POPS" on the Pageant Blue cars. Here is a shot of my much missed 78. Even though all you can see are the headrests you can get the idea.
