[Healeys] B/J auction

[Alan Bromfield]

Team.
My bet is that BMIHT got it wrong.  The build card probably just said Red
and the archivist 'guessed' the shade to be 'helpful'.

That was my experience with my Longbridge BN4.

The build card (which I also got a copy of - don't ask) says 'Red'.  The
first Certificate I received said 'Reno Red' however the paint in an area
that couldn't have been messed with was clearly Colorado.

I got suspicious as the build date on the first certificate was also listed
as 29th February 1957.  Hmmm.....

Mike,

Possible reasons:
1. special order
2. wrong info from BMIHT
3. they found some more Carmine Red and wanted to use it up!! <grin>

Having said that, I show your interior trim colour in the Hundred Registry
records as being red. Is it an orange and red (which is the trim colour
scheme
for pre January '56 Carmine Red cars), or a single tone red, more of a blood
red that usually went into the Reno Red cars??
