I have a Triumph TR6 and my son has an MGB. British Heritage makes all of the body panels (I had to replace about half the sheet metal on my car) and reportedly obtained the dies by tracking them down after the collapse of British Leyland. What happened to the corresponding 914 dies after production ceased?

Speaking of the Heritage MG parts, I had an MGB for years, I drove it one day to the supermarket and when the carry out put the bags in the trunk she dented the trunk trying to close it. She insisted I wait until her manager came out and I pulled the Moss Motors catalog out and the manager said he’d order me a new trunk. I. Still see that manager and he gives me crap about the decade or so of catalogs he got at the store after ordering the lid!
