A friend of mine back about 1970 or so had two
Mk1 MGB roadsters.  One
of the cars had imitation
leopard skin seat covers which my friend thought
were a real plus for the car.  I thought they
looked very declassi, and that
they must have
been sourced from K-Mart.  I later read somewhere
that these
seat covers were an option, and were a
genuine BMC factory accessory.  Someone
at BMC
must have visited India and been enamored with
the look of a wildcat
for seat covering and
convinced management to offer these things to MG buyers
as an accessory.
