Hi all
<div><br></div>
<div>Motor show cars sometimes had white chassis - I cam across
this she looking at the records at BMIHR Gaydon when I started
building the 1958 Earls Court demonstrator (3a) registered
2SMC.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cars had three ‘standards’ of prep it seems and the records
show ‘A/A’, ‘A/B’, ‘A/C’ etc but no one seems to know what that
really meant. I surmised that it might be rolling chassis, display
car and demonstrator car for test use just by looking at the 57 and
58 records and the cars pictured and my car, which had nice chrome
bits everywhere but was also clearly nicely prepped at one time.
Other at Earls Court that year were two shiny white 3a’s and a
white rolling chassis. The red Glasgow and Geneva car Registered
3SMC looks to have a white chassis from the period B&W pics.
Could be all wrong of course.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The other white chassis cars were from the competitions
department who tended to paint some Chassis white (not all by any
means) so that cracks could be seen easily. This flowed into the
TR4 programme, where each of the four cars alway ran on white
chassis frames and still do today.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope this is useful</div>

But I suspect white slipped through once in awhile because of
