Boot floor

Post by Sidney'61 »

Just wanting to know as they all seem to be different.
In a '61 minor what colour should the base of the boot be? should it be black or body coloured?

We had this discussion in the concours line the spare wheel part should be body colour, but sometimes the boot itself was black.

Black underseal is usually someone elses doing. Body colour is the way to go.

I asked the same question of one of the Concours Grand Masters (or whatever their title is) and he let me take some shots of his car. I hope they help and I hope he doesnt mind me showing them, if so sorry Richard !!
