MG Midget and Sprite General - Colourblind Ebay Seller

Slightly misleading title...

Haha.. that just looks awful but in one way I still thinks it kind of rad. :)

The seller doesn't seem to concern to much about privacy either.

They don't appear to know their left from right either! Description says 'left hand drive'. The pictures beg to differ!

Dear oh dear...

I think they used the "Sell Similar" item feature of EBay, but did not fully edit the listing.

I think someone will buy that. It looks to have been quite well done and the colour coding of the bumpers seems to soften the impact of the rubber bumpers,of which I am not generally a fan. The paint on the dash gives the impression of having a bit of pearl in it, in which case the car would look quite good in bright Sunlight. And anyway, there are a few very macho Rugby teams playing in pink nowadays so why not a pink Midget? You'd certanly get some attention at cars shows!

It's not the sell similar function, if you input the reg no eBay fills in the car details and colour from the V5 database.

Looks nicely done but sooo pink!

Isn't Arie's car meant to be green ..... hmmm, and he was the one causing most problems with the pink rally board - maybe it's because he's scared the marshalls won't be able to see it against the pretty pink colour ... :)!!!!

I think it would look quite good on a dark, overcast night.

Sad to know that Barbie and Ken have broken up.

Could it be that the seller actually is colour blind and this car is the result of a horrid practical joke played on him by his mate that painted the car? ;-)
He just can't understand the comments made by others in regard to him in his beautiful BRG Midget. LOL

Nope!
I am colourblind and even I can see that the e bay car is bright orange!
