So, today I'm looking at the VIN's on my 2 1959 MGA's (& I'm beginning to realize the MGA coupe is probably the sexiest post-WWII car MG ever made!)....
My roadster is 'HDRxxxxxxx' which means it was originally Mineral Blue w/either a gray or black w/ blue piping interior; the coupe is 'HMKxxxxxxx' which means it was originally Orient Red w/either a red or black interior.
I was planning on painting both OEW....however, with the color identified in the VIN, what're your thoughts about changing colors from the original?
(<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Oh, I don't even know what Mineral Blue looks like!</span> & I can't find any evidence the roadster was ever red - white appears to be the original color when I look in all the usual nooks & crannies!)
EDIT: Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, I just found it! Offered only on the coupe!
