Re: New MGB GT
I think it's Bronze Yellow but might just be Blaze.

Is that photo maximum pixels? If you've shrunk the pixel count down to get it small enough to post could you try cropping the photo instead?
It's just possible that it's not an MGB but a Midget. The rear end has a suspicion of quarter bumpers fitted.

Re: New MGB GT
It passed within..lets say a couple of metres of me Paul, and it was definitely a chrome bumper MGB Roadster. it wasnt a colour I would seek out but it suited it, where it was, and the gentleman and lady driving it.
Potentially I could have allocated it a brighter shade than it actually was, but this is what I imagine was the colour. First thing I noticed when it came into view.
I know its a MGB Gt shown here but thats the colour which was very close to what it was...

Re: New MGB GT
Not my best ever photograph
youve already heard my excuses. The photograph is as per the camera, I didnt mess about with it just loaded it up.
This is cut out of the original photo and loaded up.
Have to say I dont know the answer on the colour, havent got the reg legible on the photo.

Yes, that's Bronze Yellow, as best as can be seen from a photo.NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 20:18I know its a MGB Gt shown here but thats the colour which was very close to what it was...
Interestingly, the car is RHD but looks as though it has American all amber sidelight/indicators.
That's a bit better. I can now see that it is an MGB Roadster. It looks even more like it's Bronze Yellow.

Both the Bronze Yellow and Bracken look more brown than in real life from those chip charts.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 20:38For me thats Bronze Yellow or just possibly Bracken!

Re: New MGB GT
If you zoom in on the sales brochure at the front in the display cabinet I'm pretty sure that's also Bronze Yellow.NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020, 20:56I have shoved a POTD of MG interest up here.

Re: New MGB GT
Bronze Yellow methinks.
Note that although it's the facelift model (as shown by the rear lamps), the overiders don't yet have the rubber inserts.

Re: New MGB GT
Totally gorgeous dog-walk spot this morning, and the MG enthusiasts will no doubt identify the shade. Edit From the horses mouth and thumbs up to Geoff for an interesting conversation. The colour is Iris Blue, not the original which was British Racing Green.
