A while back, someone mentioned that the frame to their A was grey and looked
original, when A frames are supposed to be black. The witty and charming
Will Zehring (if it was some other witty and charming person I apologize)
speculated that the MG Car Company occasionally painted parts non-standard
colors just to confuse future restorers. I can believe this because it's
exactly what I would do if I owned a car company.
