There has been some comment/queries on the list regarding the correct paint
colours for LBC's.
The latest UK magazine "Practical Classics", January 1997, which I picked up at
the newsagents today, mentions the restoration of a 1952 MG YB Saloon and the
fact that the restorer obtained assistance from the ICI archives on the correct
colour for the car. I believe ICI would have been one of the main suppliers to
British motor manufacturers, so maybe some help can be got here. The telephone
# given is +44 1449 773497. Hope this may be of some help.
In the same magazine, there is an article on importing cars into the UK, and if
my memory serves correctly (I deleted the digest), someone was asking about
this a short while ago.
