Bottom half is Arbour Green, strangely enough, I loved this colour combination on Dave's old Tourer, but on the saloon it doesn't work for me, nor do I like the sandstone interior........so it's still a no from me

The ad is correct. It is BRG over Arbour Green.

MG Rover in the original spec for Duotone 75's Arbour Green was used for the lower colour.

Arbour Green was never used as a original all over colour for the 75 although it was used on the Rover 25 and the MG TF

Quite a few of the lower colours used on the Duotone 75's were not 75 all over colors.

Midnight Blue/Osmium Blue
Firefrost/Tapestry
Royal Blue/Bermuda Blue

This vehicle was the 2nd 75 in BRG (Upper) Arbour Green (Lower) to be made out of 7 BRG (Upper) Arbour Green (Lower) 75s


Arbour green (HFY) is the lower colour of this car as Dave says, Arden Green (HEW) is very dark indeed.

So the seller thinks it's one of one? there were seven built in this colour, and this is the second

Having looked at his other " item's for sale" it appears that he is also trying to sell a 2008 saloon finished in " masons black" with a 2 litre CDT v6 engine. That would be a rare one.

As I mentioned, He has the spec wrong on this one as well.
Described as a 2 ltr petrol and manual box. Whereas it is a Diesel Auto.
