I decided to go with Black Tulip, which, in MHO, is a really nice color for
the car. It isn't finished painting yet, but it looks great so far.
Everybody that sees it says "Wow!" It is pretty rare and isn't BRG, which
someone noted on the MG list that every LBC in the future will be BRG!

PS Black Tulip is a very very dark purple, not barney (the dinosaur) purple
like aconite. Beware the differences.
