I guess.  And not just from Triumph.  We have a guy here in the Twin Cities
who walked into a Healey dealer in those days and asked to buy a big Healey
in black.  They didn't come in black at that time.  The dealer made some
inquiries and the factory pulled a white one off the line and sprayed it
black, then put it back on the line.  The gentleman still has it.
