When I went shopping for my first 'B (my current 'B) I went out the back
of the local specialist centre (EMGEE Sales & Service - here in South
Australia - to give it a plug) and all I saw was RED. Now forever the
one to go against the trend I asked if they specialised in RED MG's only
or what!?
When they took me around the corner and showed me Primrose (no, she is
*not* yellow) I fell in love with her at first glance. She was not
blue, BRG or RED.
Even though I was told that Primrose was a common colour for 67/68/69 I
have only seen one other on the roads here (so far) and I have vowed
that when it comes time for new paint... Primrose it will be (and
besides, amongst all the trucks and 4WDs I want to be SEEN)!!
