[Tigers] Original Underbody finish?

[Alex Haugland]

Hello! I'm currently taking my Tiger apart to be stripped back to bare 
metal and repainted in the original colour.  As I'm looking at bringing 
the car back to as original a condition as possible I'm curious as to 
how the underside of the Tiger was originally finished.  My car 
currently has an old rubberized undercoating that has become brittle and 
is starting to flake off, so it will be stripped off as well.  Was this 
the original finish of the underside or was it painted body colour, 
black, or some other colour?  The engine and gearbox will be coming out 
tomorrow along with the exhaust, fuel lines, brake lines, and suspension 
and the car will be ready to go to the paint shop.
