Like the blue MGB. If I see the color corrrectly, it looks like Mineral Blue.  The first car I ever bought was a1968 MGC in Mineral Blue.  It was never as shiny as the car in your photo.  Brings back some good memories though.  My wife has been after me to strip down our 79 MGB and convert it to chrome bumper and paint it Mineral Blue.  All I need is time and money.  Simple, right?
Thanks for posting.  I look forward to the C&C posts weekly

Kudos 4 the pix Cliff. We still have snowbanks here. Your weather makes me jealous.

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, I just noticed the badges. Now, I wonder where I can dig up 15K?

I hope they bring the new 500 Abarth Essess to the states now they are being forced to pair up with Fiat. The new MINI will have to watch it's tail lights! Thanks!

nice shots as always, Cliff. But I have to hope that a Crossfire is not a "car of interest." yech. Was that a real "Bentley Boys" blower Bentley? Pretty rare state-side car.

A Dino, some Ariels and an Abarth.  SWEET.  And a Husdon (not a ragtop) was the first car I rode in - or so I'm told.  Came home from the hospital in one after being born.  My dad was cutting edge without knowing it!  Years later, he owned a Corvair just like the one in your "Nader" painting, and I took my driver's license test in it. 

A tip of the variety hat once again to the photog, Cliff.  Never seems to get old, does it?

BTW - any new auto art in the pipeline?
