My first experience w/ British cars was to go with my neighbor
to pick up his brand new '63 MG B. He had ordered a red car w/ black
interior. The car came in w/ red interior. Not to worry, said the
dealer. In about two hours, he had his car w/ black interior and another
car now had a red interior. Both cars came "brand new from the dealer"
w/ colors that would not be backed by the British Motor Heritage. Don't
get too carried away with all of this.
