Fellow Listers,
Let's not make this harder than it is.
White six-cylinder cars are listed as Ivory White. However from the
Concours Guidelines, 2008 edition, page 117 under 6-cylinder Cars...
*
- Ivory White and Old English White, though different color names, all were
the same WT.3 paint code.*
Also from Don Pikovnik's book "Austin Healey Guide to Historic Colors."
*Old English White - WT.03
ICI - 2379
aka "Ivory"*
OK, one more time.. *AKA "IVORY"*
And for those who are still confused aka means - also known as.
THEREFORE...for all intents and purposes it says Ivory White (is listed as
the color name for *our* cars) but is in fact Old English White.
My apologies to Wm. Shakespeare - "A white Austin Healey by any other name
will still be Olde English White."
This horse is DEAD.
Cheers ;-)
