On TR6's, I have always seen body color behind the grill. Same with
4's but I haven't seen enough different 250's to speculate otherwise.
However, using period advertising to determine accuracy is just
plain wrong. To start with, there were no guidelines for truth in
advertising then. Many gray areas were stretched. Secondly, they didn't
use "hero" products (a "hero" product is a "perfect" example used
specifically for advertising and not pulled off of the assembly line.),
instead they used cars from the press fleet for advertising. So these
cars can not be counted on as accurate. Especially when details could
change depending on who was at what station during the assembly process.
