EXOSAT and Ginga observations of the type I Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15 revealed a complex picture of the X-ray spectrum. The soft excess found in the first EXOSAT observation was confirmed in the spectral analysis of the EXOSAT long-look data. Evidence for iron features arising from cold material close to the nucleus is obtained. The iron features were confirmed by the Ginga LAC. The X-ray observations provide good evidence for an accretion disc in MCG-6-30-15 which presents a signature both in the soft band and around 7 keV where measurable iron features are produced. There is also evidence for a possible warm absorber around the central source.
