re: BN2 engine color

[John Loftus <loftusdesign@cox.net>]

Hi Dave,

My unrestored BJ7 'spare motor' has orange underneath the Healey green
on the head, block and tappet covers (the valve cover has been repainted)

It might have been done that way originally but not 100% sure.

Hi Folks,

When I removed the block from my BN2, BN2L231xxx, built 29 March,
1956. I find that the original paint next to the bare metal was
orange ...
