[Healeys] Two-tone paint scheme

[editorgary at aol.com]

 Incidentally, the original paint scheme stopped at the back edge of the rear
fenders and did not extend across the rear shroud under the bumper. I talked
about that with Gerry Coker while we were following my green over white BN7 up
to Tahoe for the 2002 meet, and Gerry agreed that it looked funny that way. He
said if he had done the design over again, he would have run the bottom color
across the shroud, with the break line hidden by the rear bumper. Also, our
painter wrapped the color all the way around the edges of the doors at the
rear, but didn't paint the flat panel the second color, which Gerry agreed
looked right.
