I can quote you the law which will allow you to change any or all parts on the
car, including the serial number plate, but the only people that can issue a
new number are manufacturers and the CHP. That color code is part of the
number. Wish I could cause I have a white A roadster I would love to paint
another color.

Subject: Moral Serial # Question
Hey All!
I would like to know some of your opinions on my following moral
dilemma. Let's say for instance you are doing a restoration on an MG that
has the color stated in the car's serial number. You have decided to change
colors but still go with an MG color that was offered the same year. As part
of the restoration you are of course replacing the serial number plate
because it is faded.
Does anyone think that it is wrong, illegal or immoral to change the
letter designating the color?
Thanks for the input.
