That's a MMM with a really enjoying history to read !!
Obviously Abingdon put it in the category " Racing", because of the many
special goodies which were fitted.
So the engine was painted BLUE ??

Subject: RE: Engine Colors Tabulation
Lew, our PB was bought new by my father,(still registered & occasionally
driven by him) He specified various modifications from the factory,
including a special crank, camshaft, & a Marshal supercharger, all of which
are still on the car. When the car was collected direct from Abingdon the
engine had been painted Blue (almost Bugatti blue). When the engine was
stripped by me in '91, for a first rebuild!,I found no trace of any other
colour although internally the block was painted with what looked like red
oxide.
