[Healeys] Non Standard Colours

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

All the CKD-kits (Completely Knocked Down) delivered to South Africa and
Australia? were delivered with the bodies in "undercoat" primer only.
These cars got their paint at the "assemblies". That was at BMC
Blackheath works near Cape Town for South African cars. Aside Sprites
and others about 104 to 107 Healey 100/6 were delivered to this
destination in kit form due to tax reasons. These cars have got a
special chassis plate which gives the colour they were painted. These
colours differ completely from the usual Healey colours. For these cars
you cannot get a Heritage certificate, as they were not assembled in
Abingdon. But they are to say it proper Healeys. Quite a challange to
judge one of these at concours.
