I got this from the Delaware Valley Classic MG Club.

It seems like only one tyrolite and one mineral blue, and it looks like 50% are not wire wheel.

Looking at the photo the cars are early models (Tail Lights). My car was red once?
Maybe one of these cars is my old girl starting out her life headed for the "States"

Great pic! Thanks for sharing.

Surprised how high they stacked the wooden shipping kits. A lot of weight for 2x4s.

Wonder how many houses were built out of scrap near the receiving terminal

Chris, thanks for sharing. I have never seen that photo. I see guys putting a lid on the box and two other cars with lids on their boxes .Can I assume each car was shipped in a complete wood box? Maybe not since there is a huge stack of them in the back.

FWIW, there's 9 red cars, 7 white cars, one iris blue, one black and one tyrolite green.

This is one of those visual puzzles, but I count 10 red....5 on the floor and 5 in the racks!

Copernicus,

You are right, there are 5 reds on the rack, 5 on the floor.
That Tyrolite Green one looks good in a sea of red!
It's funny how the black and white cars melt tediously
into the background.

BTW, does anyone know who picked the colors for the MGA cars?
Except for the Tyrolite Green, the other colors appeared to be
safe, primary colors.
