Uh-oh. I had intentions of painting my 74 MGB black (It's now tundra...
bleech). The paint codes in the book my Lindsey Porter lists black as a
color for 74. Is this not right? It's the only original color listed in
there for the 74 year that I can stomach. (Anybody know why all the colors
were so weird for that year?)
