Jim,
The paint on the Florida Green BN2 showing the 3rd series of Hundred top
bows is a somewhat darker shade of gray. The colour of the top bows on the
BN1 with the orange/red interior is an exact match for what was on the car.
It's a custom mix my painter developed and has used on all our projects in
the last 6 years or so.
I don't have any exemplary pictures or information about the early BN4 but
surely the exhaustive information Peter Svilans and others have sent into
the Guidelines should be sufficient. I don't doubt for a moment that there
could likely have been small variances in the early BN4 top arrangements as
things evolved. Similarly the first of the 6 cylinder side screens changed
after only 50 cars.

Subject: RE: [Healeys] BN1 Hood configuration
John - thanks for posting the articles and photos. Rich, as always, a great
job of documentation and of sharing your commentary and photos.
It appears that the paint on the hood bows is a slighty different shade of
gray on the two cars. Am I mistaken? but if it is the same? what is the
source?
Also Rich would you happen to have the same type of documentation for the
Longbridge hood and hood bow setup? I am currently reviewing what is
presented for the Longbridge in the 2011 Concours Guide and my Longbridge
hood, bows and webbing are not consistent with the Guide. Do you think there
could be possible that several series exist for the Longbridge , as is
documented for the BN1
Thank you for your assistance and insight - jim lesher
