Alan:
FWIW: I have a good friend in Vancouver, BC who has a white over red BJ8
with a red interior.
He has further departed from standard practice a bit - the top and tonneau
are red, as well as the dash pad and door top rolls. He has used a slightly
darker red for the coves than Colorado Red. It is one damn nice looking
BJ8!
I encourage you to consider the white / red combo. It would be easy enough
in the future to repaint the coves either white or black (if anyone really
wanted to bother) to return the car to a completely original colour combo,
assuming of course that the top / tonneau / boot cover will be black.

Subject: [Healeys] Original Colo(u)r Scheme - advice?
All -
My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior. Looks nice
but nothing close to original!
Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it
over the next few months. My desire is to get the car back to as close to a
factory & factory color scheme as possible.
