Subject: Re: Source of correct shade paint for heads and block
Hi Laurence,
Sorry for the late reply,
Your theory could be correct, I had an original LG6 saloon in a while back that had been in one family all of it's life and apparently never rebuilt etc and the internals did confirm that.
This engine was actually a creamy white but is the only engine I have ever seen in this colour that i could believe was not rebuilt at some point in it's life. It could be that either you could specify a colour, or perhaps they had codes for different setups? LG6 or LG45 for instance when the models crossed over.
or V12 sanctions or carb setups etc? interesting.
I also know quite a few engines and gearboxes were changed under warrantee in their early life as is proved by the service cards of some cars.
Regards,
Jules
