Black Tulip... question.

Post by USspecGT » Thu Oct 04, 2007 12:24 am

Okay, i went to a car show last weekend and saw a few Black Tulip MGB's. I stopped and looked at each of them and thought about how much better this colour looks on a Marina. I dont know if it is the red interior/pinstripe that sets it off but it looks so much better on a Marina (same goes for Citron Yellow)


How many Black Tulip Marinas are there? I can only think of three that I have seen pictures of. If anyone can post pics I would greatly appreciate it as I think I am liking this colour so much that i might..........hmmm

Later

Chris

Black Tulip only works if you have a red interior i reckon :wink: , i had a lovely Austin 1300 in black tulip, that too had the red interior, and it looked the business Chris, the closest i have seen another manufacturer come up with is Ford, who did a rather nice colour in the late 60`s called Aubergine which was quite similar but not as nice :wink: .
