I will (hopefully) start work on the car this winter - I will take pictures
ten. For now, I just scraped a little bit of black overspray in the engine
bay to discover the original white color..
Will let you know once I have the photos!
BTW - the car is red now (it was painted in '83, but I checked the dash: the
dash was white, and I believe the oval instrument panel was also white,
unless someone has sanded the silver/gray paint..

Tadek,
That is the $64,000 question. No, we don't know why some were black and
some remained body color.
Please document your original engine bay color in pictures and send me the
photos as I would like to add this evidence to my collection.
I have personally seen BN2's painted both ways and a number of OEW BN1's
with the black engine bays however I still need photographic documentation
of the early white cars without the black engine compartment if anyone has
photos.
