OK  group, here's a question: what about black cars? Did they still use
the  semi-gloss black behind the grill or was it the one  exemption?

Owain,

I purchased my 67 Alpine new and have owned 16  Alpines & Tigers. From
the factory my Alpine had everything behind the  lower grille chrome and
upper grille chrome painted a semi-matte black  including the curved
sides.  I have had many other original Tigers and  Alpines that had the
same. and it didn't matter what the body color was.  Most of the
repainted cars I've purchased have had body color behind the  grille, I
guess to save time & money.
I guess Rootes did it that way  to show off the center grille bars!!!!
Hope this helps,
Curt  Meinel
