Moss has sourced this paint from the same company for lo these many
years and as the flurry of e-mails verifies it should be the correct
deep Maroon color. The T series paint is a brighter Red color.

Thanks, Kelvin. The can in question having been incorrect, I shall use brand
new Moss paint for the redo.

Oh, and I believe that all MGB engines should be painted Maroon. Just
because the factory ended up painting the engines black is no reason to
slavishly follow their design. THE FACTORY WAS NOT PERFECT!!! That is
almost as bad as not fitting a sway bar to the 1975-76 MGB, because the
factory didn't! Sorry, my personal biases slipping out. I
personally believe that any MGB after 1967 should be built as a "best of
all worlds" MGB.

I agree - the 1968 was arguably best of the line with all synch trans,
though I like the 67. Anything after 1974 should be buried in a deep hole
along
with all Austin Marinas ;-)
