    Hi Simon, there is a huge amount of information to digest here and a great bunch of very helpful friendly owners. The car looks fantastic in Trophy Blue.
    Enjoy

    I'd say mines blue too but it's a mirage haha! i know cheesy joke....

    Silver? Maybe MG took what Vauxhall did when they ran out of paint, and sprayed many many many Vectras in silver primer and just laqured them

    Welcome Simon, they are addictive, as you are already finding out.
    This is a great site to be on, with help always at hand, and Nick at Austin Garages is a top bloke. I will only be letting him work on my car in future, and living 130 miles away would still not now contemplate taking it anywhere else.
    Enjoy
    Nigel.

    What are you getting done ICE-wise, Colin? Mine's going back on March 30th for a Bluetooth kit, the last step in my ICE upgrade, on which Nick did a great job. Until I have to move to digital radio I think I'm done after that!
    Cheers,
    Julian.
