I'm trying to figure out exactly what color my MG is.
It's a '77 B and it's blue. Manufacture date is 11/76,
so it is a '77.  The VIN code also agrees with it being
a 77 made before Jan 1 (H422287).

Reading in MGB including MGC and MGB GT V8 by David Knowles
says a 77 would have been Tahiti Blue. But the pictures of
two 77s have a darker blue than mine appears to be. Tegelerizer
further confuses the issue having the dates for Tahiti Blue
going from 75 to 76 and Pagent from 78-79. Nothing for 77.

I think my car is Pagent Blue.

Is there a paint code sticker or plate on the car?

I'm looking thru Clausager, but thought I'd ask the
experts while I'm doing it.

I want to get a can of spray paint to touch/cover up some of
the worst spots. And maybe the new trunk lid I've got.

Ultimately, I think I'll be painting it a different color. But
that's a discussion for another day.

Paul.
