- Hello all: I'm the new owner of a '72 B roadster and will be restoring and repainting it over the winter. Thing is, the original colour is Bronze Yellow (has a navy interior), and I'm not too enthusi

- In the case of my car... well, there is nothing really worse than 1978 Russet Brown - now a nice Damask red. Not an option for my year though. Personally, I think you should go with what makes you h

- Compromise - pick a color that was original in your year. I'm sure you'll find one you like (why my formerly yucky yellow Midget is now Teal Blue). -NORY Don't assume that because you have found one

- 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. No

- Gotta go with Ben on this one. My 78B was originally Russet Brown, too. After the respray, it is now Brooklands Green. In a slight tip of the hat to originality, 1978 Russet Brown and Brooklands Gree

- I must say I agree with Nory on this one - it's YOUR car. Mine is Blaze Red, which is really orange, thus the moniker "Punkin" given by my spouse. BUT -- I wasn't fond of the color at first, but then

- Agreed, mine is Brooklands, which I've thought of leaving because it's original, and some people say they like it...but I must have the worst taste in colors, because there are some "hideous" BL col

- My $.02 worth: Our '77 B is chartreuse (new paint job), which was apparently the original color. Neither my wife nor I really like Yellow and off-yellow-green seemed pretty hideous. In fact, we rejec
