Actually this color was called "Black Tulip" and was produced for the
1973 model year. My father had a '73 MGB GT in this color. I have only
seen one other car painted Black Tulip in all my lbc days.
I'm not sure if Midgets were offered in Black Tulip, but it really was
a nice color, especially when coupled with wire wheels. For someone
looking for an original color which looks good yet stands out from the
white-red-brg crowd, I think this is a good choice.
