Well that explains it. I'm not sure I could believe anything Will has to
say. It's something about the bulge in his cheek - a tongue, I think it's
called.

A while back, someone mentioned that the frame to their A was grey and
looked
original, when A frames are supposed to be black. The witty and charming
Will Zehring (if it was some other witty and charming person I apologize)
speculated that the MG Car Company occasionally painted parts
non-standard
colors just to confuse future restorers. I can believe this because it's
exactly what I would do if I owned a car company.
