Tadek,

That is the $64,000 question.  No, we don't know why some were black and
some remained body color.

Please document your original engine bay color in pictures and send me the
photos as I would like to add this evidence to my collection.

I have personally seen BN2's painted both ways and a number of OEW BN1's
with the black engine bays however I still need photographic documentation
of the early white cars without the black engine compartment if anyone has
photos.
