[Healeys] Fwd: Color Code for Engine Paint

[Udo P]

I don't want to see this. Roland are you sure that European think different.
Must be the time I have spent in CA, have change how I think.
 I guaranty that any car body shop in Switzerland can mix this color. Maybe
not on the ALM "Holeraydiejodeldie".

Gary-

Switzerland is not that big of a country.  Herr Krueger can't live too far
from a border with a more paint-friendly country.  If he could toss the
engine into a van and cross a border he could probably solve his problem in
a couple of hours.  Have Welch or Moss or whoever send a can of paint to a
friendly garage or Healey owner near the border.
Or just pick up the paint in, say, France and smuggle it across the border
back into Switzerland.  (You can tell that I don't think like a European
should).

You can of course tell him that all Austin-Healeys after possibly a very few
very early Hundreds have the same engine color.  Nothing special about a BN2
engine's paint color.
