[Healeys] Re Healey colours

[mike brooks]

British cars of the 50's and 60's had much brighter and more polished
paintwork on the bits that could be seen than those that couldn't. In fact
inside engine compartments the finish was often not much better than what
overspray looks like. And even exterior paintwork was nowhere near the look of
today's over-restored concours winners. 


 ".......I wonder if those hidden
interior and trunk panels we value so much as
the "original" color looked the
same as the color when it was painted on the
car''s exterior ..............."
