Subject: Re: LG45 Engine Paint Colour
Hi Mark,
If it helps, my V12's engine had its original paint, and that was the grey already described. The LG6's engine was repainted when it was "rebuilt", but it is that same grey, so I assume they matched the original.

As an aside, the V12's gearbox was painted silver, even though much of it is aluminium...my understanding is that this seemingly pointless finish was primarily to seal potentially porous castings...and Lagonda's aluminium does seem to have been pretty poor quality.

The only item I have found with white/creamy white paint is one of the V12's petrol filler pipes. Perhaps these are handed and one side was painted for easy orientation.
