Tahiti blue 75's.

VVC-Geeza · 29th January 2018, 15:03

Does anyone on here own a Tahiti blue 75?I would be interested to know how many were built in this colour.Very few I assume as it was a carry over colour fom the 200/400 range.I have been lucky enough to spot one on a driveway about two years ago but no others before or since.

Such a common colour, Mick. Oh, wait. I mean in our coupe form....

Swordy had a beautiful example of a Tahiti blue...

And I broke one once 😩

My 9 month year old mini clubman back in 1978 was Tahiti Blue.

According to the MG Rover Build Info site there were only 4 75s in Tahiti Blue

Blimey!

Does that mean my car (in yer actual Tahiti blue) is one of two so-far accounted for?

I fitted chrome skull-caps to it & sold the original body-colour covers on eBay without too much difficulty, so there must be another out there...?

(Incidentally, it's a darker blue that the sig. pic. suggests. Must re-do that...).

Colour code is JRJ BTW.

It looks like Tahiti to me.
