Went to Eurofest at the BWM plant near Spartanburg SC Sat. There were maybe
70-80 Healeys there. Lots of them were White (OEW, I suppose), and they were
in many different shades of White. Some were yellowish, some had the biscuit
shading, many were a cream color. I would go so far as to surmise that OEW
was probably many different shades coming off the paint line at manufacture
due to variations in the different "batches" of paint from the manufacturer.
Even buying modern house paints you need to be careful to make sure that all
of you paint cans have the same number on the lid or that you mix them all
together before you paint.
BTW, met Bill Emerson there with his spectacular Westland. Bought his book.
Highly reccommend the book. NFI, but happy.
