Hi All Now that we're all clear on the engine colours, how about the exterior. Specifically the two tone colours that you see occasionally: The beige and brown, or navy and sky blues etc. It does look period, but I'm not sure, was factory? Or just an after-market fashion? Regards Paddy    |

It was never a factory option, Paddy. I agree though, duo-tone can look lovely.
Have a look at the Documents section in Technical for the parts listings - section one gives all the colour options.

two tone was definitely an option in 1969 mist grey also called mist green with willow green is very nice, and so are the two blues, there where others, country cream and willow green.i have 3 different ones here at the moment.

Hi Kenny,
That's really interesting. Would you be able to post some pics or are they somewhere else on this site?
Where are you located?
Paddy

there where a good number of two tone cars sold in Western Australia, as I spent from about 1985-1995 servicing 1800s and Kimberley and Tasmans.
in the past Dave 1800 has posted my pics for me as I am still unable to use flicker etc, so I do not think the photo,s are likely to happen.
on the subject of colour,i have wrecked an Amber, Jet red and a Black one, the only ones I have seen in those colours in West Aus.
Sierra Beige, New Cedar Green etc, we had a lot of colours available but it seems that mostly White or one of the light blues where chosen.
White is an obvious Colour for the Australian climate.

As an example this ex New Zealnd car is currently available in the UK Here. I might have put it in the Sales thread but the £8250 asking price is much too high at the moment, nice though the car is. Nick  |

Hi Paddy
I've edited your photo of the MG 1100 and you! Just a reminder please remember to post photos as links from a photo web hosting site and not as attachments. I appreciate it's a little bit of a pain, but we only have very limited storage space on this site before we get charged. It's long way for us come to to bring the hat around for contributions!
regards
David
