No, it isn't true. However, as noted earlier, painting the second color at
the dealer was something that was frequently done to move the metal when the
LeMans kit was introduced and the 100M was shown at all the auto shows as a
means
to help dealers sell the BN1s that were gathering dust on their lots.
This tended to carry over with later Healeys as well. Dealers would often
order monotone cars and then add the second color to suit the owner.
But many (most? - who knows) duotone cars did come from the factory painted
that way.
Cheers
