When we were setting up originality guidelines for TRA there was input of random differences in frame color. some were positive finds. I personally took it as what ever was in the paint gun at the time the frame was posted for paint went on it . predominately they were Black

Hi all
Motor show cars sometimes had white chassis - I cam acrossthis she looking at the records at BMIHR Gaydon when I startedbuilding the 1958 Earls Court demonstrator (3a) registered2SMC.
Cars had three ‘standards’ of prep it seems and the recordsshow ‘A/A’, ‘A/B’, ‘A/C’ etc but no one seems to know what thatreally meant. I surmised that it might be rolling chassis, displaycar and demonstrator car for test use just by looking at the 57 and58 records and the cars pictured and my car, which had nice chromebits everywhere but was also clearly nicely prepped at one time.Other at Earls Court that year were two shiny white 3a’s and awhite rolling chassis. The red Glasgow and Geneva car Registered3SMC looks to have a white chassis from the period B&W pics.Could be all wrong of course.
The other white chassis cars were from the competitionsdepartment who tended to paint some Chassis white (not all by anymeans) so that cracks could be seen easily. This flowed into theTR4 programme, where each of the four cars alway ran on whitechassis frames and still do today.
Hope this is usefulTony

But I suspect white slipped through once in awhile because ofdisplay chassis, etc.

I encountered it when I was involved in a concours.
