Here in South Australia I know of only one other Primrose MGB (and
amazingly enough it lives FOUR HOUSES AWAY). Yes, it seems many were
re-painted the more popular BRG and red. I have seen evidence of this
on a few cars and have been told as such by my MG guy who has dealt in
these cars for many years now.
But... here you can see a couple of lovely C-types that kept their
colour (better than mine)

They are Primrose sisters and they look particularly lovely -
beautifully kept/restored!
