Just to throw in a little trivial background. The reason provided by Gerry
Coker and Bic Healey as to why Healeys were not, repeat not, produced in
"BRG' (actually spruce green originally, after the first BN1s, was that the
quality of the paint was so bad that if a car was left out in the rain and
then sunlight, the water drops on the car would cause the paint to discolor,
and dealers were spending too much time and money repainting under warranty.
Healey didn't produce a "true" BRG car until the sports convertibles. It was
initially a yellowish green which was later modified to be a darker green.
