MG TD TF 1500 - TF Dash color
| I asked a few days ago about painting the area you can see above the dash the same color as the dash. I was under the impression that the dash should be painted the same color as the interior. One response said that all dashes were red. Is there a generally accepted scheme for paint combinations for the dash? Thanks for the help. John |

| John, I replied that they were all red except for green cars, the only ones with green interior. I still think this was true. The area above and around the dash (in any case) is painted the same calor as the dash, even the flange below the cowl pad. On restoration of my car, one could see the red (On a black car) up the the bolt holes for the pad to cowl. |

| John Clausager, in his book "Original MG T Series" states that the dash was Red with red or biscuit trim and green for cars with green trim as Don stated above. Jan |

| John, I posted some info on biscuit dashboards under your previous thread. Can send photos if you want help getting the colour right. Good luck. Matthew. |

| When I bought my TF back in 1970 it was black with a biscuit interior and I'm pretty sure the dash was biscuit as well ... no way had it been restored at that point. So I'm not sure that every dash was red except for in green interior cars. Regards David |
