MGB GT - In Detail : Interior

Another MGB GT 'In Detail' video this time having a look at the interior of the MGB and describing some of the quirks and features. There were numerous changes over the years so I'm interested to hear what differences there are between mine and later models so let me know in the comments!

I’m 6’4” and the MGB is the only classic British car I’m comfortable getting in and out of. And definitely driving is a pleasure. Thx for the video

The chromed coil spring rear hatch stays of the GT in my opinion are such beautiful items. Always look at them whenever I spot a GT

Legend has it the little front quarter windows were to the ash when flicking it from coming back into the car when smoking whilst driving

Nasty crack in the windscreen around 3:40

A great video, thanks. I’ve only driven my GT for about 5 minutes when I bought it as it was off the road legally. Been restoring since, so still another year or so, but good to learn where everything is and what it’s supposed to do. I love the red you have there so very tempted when it comes to choosing my interior as at present it a very worn sandy brown. Cheers, look forward to more videos.

I love the patina this car shows from years of loving use!

Thanks for the video, interesting to see the differences between your 1967 car and my 1970 GT. I really like the colour of your interior, it goes very well with the white. Keep the videos coming 🙂👍

Love your vidéos. You’ ve made the perfect choice of Colors with this beautiful old English white and this dark red interior. To reset your Trip odometer, you should try to push and turn the knob in reverse. Never drove any MGB, but my 74 Citroën DS Ivoire Borely works this way. Hi from France.

Another place to check is the bonnet vent inlet lower rainwater outlet known as 'toms knob' it eventually goes hard and is bst checked by inserting a screwdriver up outlet twisting around generally allows road dust to fall out pour water into the vent to check its all good great video regards fom New Zealand

Hi Mark. Enjoyed this one a lot. I am only lightly acquainted with the MGB. Nothing says Bond more than Dymo tape!. Seriously the MGB interior does look like a slightly smaller DB4. If you put a Aluminium mesh speaker grill in front of your tablet then you would have the full Sean Connery in gold finger package. Don't know if you guessed but i really like Bond too😁. Congratulations on broaching the 1000 subscriber milestone👍

I'm looking at getting an mgb gt. Do you think theres enough room for 2 kids under 7 in the back? Just to go drive around our neighborhood? Obviously these cars aren't really safe enough for them to go on full blown rides. But can a 10 year old ride back there say? Love your videos and your car!

[philipmeegan]

Good video where is your fuel pump, just bought a 75 RB gt and it’s in the boot and looks a bit exposed, is this unusual?

[malcolmvenn]

I notice you have what looks like a Webasto sun roof. Any plans to renew the head lining for it? I want to mine in a 72 MGB and I'm looking for guidance etc. Thanks.

[Basroe]

hi, do you remember what brand your steering wheel is?

[joshsmgb]

Is the carpet colour flint grey? Lovely gt

push the trip up and twist it to revolve the trip numbers

Great video, exact model and year as mine, such a nice looking car they certainly get under your skin!

1/4 lights are there cos the window will not go past the door opening mechanism, .. i prefer 1/4 lights for demisting the wind screen, disadvantage is theft, open the 1/4 window from the outside and operate the door opening lever.

Some people told me that cars for switzerland had uprated heaters but I cannot find any prove for this. However Brown & Gammons as well as Moss have upgraded heaters which are really recommendable



There are two more lids vents worth mentioning inside. You showed the fresh air vents - but there are hot air lid on both sides - left and right - behind the fresh air one (they are closed on your video). An earlier owner sealed them in my car (which came from Carlifornia) - not good when driving on cold days.
