Clausager doesn't show glossy black undersides anywhere, just undercoat in the arches on a couple of cars. All the underbody pics are from one car - the red one on the cover.

Obviously, the guy doesn't have a clue about MGBs. The picture of under the hood shows that it was black originally, unless that was painted black. I loved the 3 speed. And the line that said the bod

Yeah I vote for ignorance rather than malice on this one. Too bad, I was hoping it was done on the real bronze metalic (the UK color) as that was really sharp looking. It is a clean car however. I've
