When I restored an MGB Roadster in 1991, I just missed out on the availability of a Heritage Shell.

I'm looking to restore another car in the next few months and despite an extensive search, I cannot find any reference to these.

Anyone know the present situation?

I have the impression that stockists are under considerable pressure from the Heritage lot not to give discounts on shells, so they either advertise them at rrp or say something coy like "contact us for a price".

The trick is, therefore, to negotiate a price for a shell plus any other bits you'll want. Moss automatically offer a discount on spares for the next couple of years iirc, and MGB Hive are always worth talking to. Delivery charge is another good haggling point if you can't collect.
