The door shuts were blue, and there was talk of this car being sold from the roundhouse "MG Rover Direct" forecourt, but it didn't look right compared to the other Duotones I've seen in the flesh.

Limorog had a two tone V8 tourer, but that started out life being Chatsworth, before being painted raven black and some other dark maroon non MGR colour on the bottom, but this car was an outsourced Macneillie paint job, and not a factory Duotone car.

And don't forget the duotone green tourer that was owned by member "Duotone". A seriously lovely car, but again, not a factory painted duotone.

Yes I had thought after I posted about Dave's old ca Cliff, it should be about sorted , if not already after it's prang on the IOM.

I had looked forward to seeing Max "Manxie Rover" at a meeting this year, but that has been scotched for the moment

I knew Dave had sold it, but hadn't realised it had been pranged. At least it sounds as though it's been saved.

That car is one of my favourite '75s - a lovely example, and I usually much prefer saloons.

ie considered making an offer.

eBay one isn’t a genuine duo. Build data shows it as Starlight

Nicest duotone for me was Marmite, Brian's old one. Gosh I loved that car! If I was better off, it would have been mine when he sold it!
