Hi everyone, I'm a new member from the Jersey Shore. I recently purchased a 1973 MGB. It was a lucky find as she seems to be in good shape. This will be my first MGB. My father had a few MGs when I was growing up and I have some fond memories of all the tinkering. I look forward to the journey of restoration and enjoying the ride.

Cheers, Derek

Welcome the British Car Forum! You have a beautiful MGB. Be sure to check out the MG forum page and post for any help you may need.
 
lovely car and unusual colour - very nice!! welcome
 
For sure not chartreuse (mine was chartreuse and it is a much more acid yellow - likewise Primrose is yellower.

Harvest Gold could be for sure or possibly snapdragon or bronze yellow - or of course repainted who knows what :D

Nice MGB! You will find our MG forums are pretty active and you will get a lot of help there (and maybe give some). Welcome to BCF!

Thanks for your thoughts. I know it was repainted at some point but not sure on the color. I'll continue to hone in on it. :smile:
 
Welcome from another Joisey owner. Ah, Harvest gold. We had a red 74 that was that color but was repainted VW red. Now on number 6, a 77 Carmine B. Enjoy the car, looks great. Maybe see you at the annual Brit Fest on October 13th in Succasunna (Roxbury) NJ. By the way I believe that an interior color was a shade of blue...enjoy it!
