We'll the car is off right now, so the pictures I posted showing the
Healey Green on the engine are all I will have. I am throughly
convinced that on my car Healey Green was the original engine color,
and it seems that several other Longbridge 2-port BN4 owners are as
well.
I'll live with the consequences
Thanks
