[Healeys] BJ8 Ivory White, was RE: 100-4 Spruce

[BJ8 Healeys]

Hi, Chris -

Quoting from the book Authentic Restoration Guide Austin-Healey
100/100-6/3000 by Gary Anderson and Roger Moment (page 160):
"Some color shades have been the source of confusion....Ivory White appears
to have been simply a new marketing name for Old English White, as used
previously."

I know for a fact that for all of the 660 BJ8s for which I have a copy of
the BMIHT certificate, and for those that left the factory painted white,
the cert says the name of the color is Ivory White.

I'm not sure what "Buttercup v st" means.
