Engine compartment paint colours

Post by MalcW »

I've just bought my first Minor. Good solid car but the engine compartment is a hotchpotch of colours with nearly everything - block, dynamo, rad etc - having had a coat of paint. Is there anywhere I can find out what should be painted and in what colour? Thanks.

Look out for a book called --The Original Morris Minor, it shows some detailed pictures of the under bonnet components. Ebay sometimes has one or two.

Engine bay should be body colour - and the engine should be BMC green... Simples.
