Kinda like pea soup, ain't it?

"Tundra Green" - another oddball MG color back in the day. Wasn't too sure back then, but I like it today. Would look better with a lighter colored tan interior, though...

Oh my Mickey, gee whiz, you like? I will say this, looks like pea soup is a good description! :sick: :pukeface: The car would look better with an Army insignia on the side, or maybe add some camouflage blotches! :jester:

Yeah, I know. Do like the funky colors now. And I am so tired of seeing 85 shades of silver on cars these days! Where has our creativity and imagination gone??

I think it was made to match all of those wonderful Avocado colored refrigerators back in the day!! it really is amazing to see how trends change over time. I bet they had lines of people craving that color.

Remember "Coppertone"? Wife had a fridge and washer & dryer. Wonder how that would look on a car? Bet it's been tried. Didn't Dodge have one?

SAAB used to have a colour like that too.
I test drove and almost bought a Sonett like this in the early '70s. Bought a Mini instead (should have bought the SAAB).

Our summer house has an avacado-coloured fridge (a freebie from a neighbour who was upgrading).
Everyone jokes about it, but it works great!

I like it. Different but pleasant. Not going to go out and repaint my car mind you, but I could happily live with that color.

My father had a Westphalia this colour. License plate was BRF 182. Of course it was Barf 182. Mind you all the grandkids called it the Turtle Van.

Tundra is a great colour when it's maintained.

My GT was originally Tundra.

Of course....it is now......SILVER (over purple).
