I am not sure about the spitfidgets, but I believe the BMC A series
engines in Spridgets were olive green. Big Healey engines were light
metallic green. I've never seen a Spridget A series engine painted light
metallic green, but I admit I have only seen a tiny subset of all Spridget
engines.

hear that a "knave key" was not a prized possession in the days of
crusades and chastity belts.
