>Kenneth,
> Well I got to the bottom in the respect I can without doubt tell
>you that the car was Blackberry in colour when it left the factory. I have
>found too many small nooks and crannies on what remains of the bodywork in
>Blackberry to be convinced of any other explaination. The cert stated that
>this was a "home" car and as such would have been painted in Coventry.
>They used to assemble C.K.D cars here in Ireland and these would be
>painted in Dublin. The question still remains, why does my cert. show
>black as the body colour ???. It never,never,never was black.
