New MGB GT

[white exec]

Well, Paint reckons it's this...

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.

That's a good idea: do a crop round the distant Widget, and post just that.

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...

Yes, that's Bronze Yellow, as best as can be seen from a photo.

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.

If you zoom in on the sales brochure at the front in the display cabinet I'm pretty sure that's also Bronze Yellow.

Phew! Pleased about that Paul. Car spotting reputation remains intact for now! I would have had to hang up my boots if it had proved to be a Midget!

This is pretty much like the one I saw if I recall right. Up for Auction SWVA 26 June 2020. Whats the colour of this one?

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.

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.
