My 100 was also built in May `54, BodyNo 3651, but colour was/is Spruce Green.
The car was never restored when I bought it in `86. The dashboard was fully
black with an oxide red primer underneath. Now its Concours correct Spruce
Green/Silver. But I am 100% sure it was all over black originally.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] ODP: Re: What color should the instrument panel be for
BN1 HealeyBlue?
My Hundred was built in May of '54 as well, Healey Blue, the dash was black
with silver when I got it, when I stripped it to repaint there was no evidence
of any blue paint, only black and I believe an oxide red primer underneath,
but the car had been restored before I got it to some extent, and in fact a
later found out spend some time in bits in the basement of an Omaha repair
shop before it was brought back to life, hardly an example like John
Wheatley's car, so I don't know if the black was original or an older re-do,
but arguably more evidence that some of the Healey Blue cars had black
instrument panels.
