[Healeys] frame color -- undercoat

[Chris Dimmock]

In Au, we have a late 6 cyl car, pretty well documented from new.
Delivered in undercoat/primer
Delivered to the DHMCo
And guess what?
The DHMCo didn't pull the engine to paint the car..
Engine bay was undercoat. Or primer. Can't remember.
He's not my accountant.
Just sayin.
Car had an unpainted engine bay
