Patton,
Egad, man!!! Look at the untold mayhem, uncertainty, disillusion, and
confusion thou hast wrought!!!!
And shall the great driving force, the source of all power, be painted light
ethereal green, as the sea? -Or shall it be dark, and foreboding green, as the
mud, or the frog, or the deep forest moss?
And all the knights whose steeds are of the bloodline wrought of the name
"Longbridge" shall curse thy name, for fear that their pristine mount is, in
fact, a horse of a different color!
Thou hast cast doubt upon all of Healeydom that shalt wreak pain and suffering
upon all concours freaks for lo' a thousand years and more.....
Good Job Man!!!!!
-Further, methinks I shouldst refrain from correspondence with this, most
reverent and intrepid band, whilst in sway of the produce of the grape, in the
wee hours of the morning....

It looks too dark to be Healey Green. 33799 is pretty early. One
question is that the auction mentions that he has two engines. Is the
one we are seeing the original engine? I have emailed him asking for
the engine number.
From the cars we have heard from on the list from spring of 1957, we
all are seeing Healey Green engines. Mine and Mick's were both built
in April, Don's is very early, built in January.
I would think this could be the scenario, but Don's car predates the one on
eBay
Early Longbridge BN4 with 2 port head - Morris Green
Later Longbridge BN4 with 2 port head - Healey Green
Last Longbridge BN4 with 6 port head - Morris Green
Abington BN4 with 6 port head - Healey Green
Like I said, my motor is supposed to be painted very soon, I want to
get this right!
