[Healeys] Dash Color for 100

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Simon, 

	My May 1954 BN1 in Spruce green got an overall black dash. I heart
from others with May 54 cars theirs were also black. Seems around May
1954 all or most dashs were black.

 My car being Healey Blue, would have had a Blue dash from the
factory.  It is
 not clear to me, but it looks as though it would have had the silver
area oval
 around the dials.  (Its a 54 BN1 Right Hand Drive)  The dash is
currently all
 black so must have been repainted at some point. On the back, hand
written, it
 clearly says "BLUE" right above the passenger side hand grab.

manufacturing
 process? ThanksSimon
