Randy,
We are still not certain but I've personally seen more white 100s with the
black engine compartment than not. In fact I cannot recall ever seeing one
that was not black. If anyone has a documented case, please let myself
Rich, Roger or any member of the Concours Committee know, and send pictures.
Cheers,
Curt
