A lister who did a concours bugeye called himself Iris.
Because his Sprite was iris blue.
I just emailed John Sprinzel and asked him about iris/speedwell blue and
when and why the color (name) change. Since John was incharge of Healey
special tuning AND Speedwell engineering, I asked if he had any thing to
do with the color. I'll let you know as soon as he gets back to me.
