I am getting ready to refurbish the engine in my '73 Midget, and I was wondering what color of the engine is supposed to be from the factory? I have heard both Healey green and semi-gloss black, so I don't know which is correct. Also, I don't think it was ever used on midgets, but I love the maroon color of early MGB engines, so I can't decide what color to go with. I am not treating this car as a factory original project' instead incorporating some subtle upgrades, mostly in the engine, suspension, and interior departments. I'd love to hear what the correct color is, as well as any thoughts on doing it in a non-original, but still LBC-esque color. (As in not ford blue or hyper yellow or some other such color)
