Taken from xpf a year ago

I asked the guy regarding the colour, and this is what he emailed me:

Yeah its had a re paint in the aquarius paint work i was told by the previous owner it was done by am mg dealership under warranty, but the respray isnt an mg colour after getting the car from a chap in newcastle i did some research into it and it was one of the 6 monograp paints originally flipping from blur to pink and light grey i can get the name if req from vin plate but for some reason it has a PAINT MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED MIPA VIP PAINTS AND ITS CALLED AQUARIOUS ,ITS SOLD BY A COMPANY CALLED Q PAINTS . IF IM HONEST BEING A PAINTSHOP TEAM LEADER FOR A BIG INSURANCE COMPANY I PREFER THE AQUARIOUS THAN THE ORIGINAL LOL

That one you are talking about was in Tadworth. I wanted to see that one but it sold a couple of days before I was going that way It was a hatch back though and I prefer the saloons

Cost of matching any repair or finding replacement parts, and the fact that it's had a respray in the first place when there are as we've said really good straight cars out there for that money.

They are a niche market when they have non-standard paint done by the factory - never mind a respray.

It your Mrs fancies it though - why not - just not for me.

I know the even a simple scratch would be a nightmare to fix! And yes it's a niche market for the colour, but if it's in good order it should work no worse than any other of similar condition!! There is the other side of the coin too which is as the car is unique it will be better looked after than a car in a standard factory colour!!

I like it and would own it, A Monogram colour would not put me off, I know ive owned 2 monograms lol
