mainly green but some one on here quite likes gold

Any colour you want as it is your engine, however "most" left the factory green... (Yes, I know there were exceptions like gold, silver, blue, grey etc....)

[dalebrignall]

mine is green .

Can't remember! Haven't opened the bonnet for couple of years. Reliable motors these Minors.
Opps perhaps I shouldn't have said that!

(faded) gold as it's a gold seal, but the head is now green after I fitted the U/L one.

It's being replaced or refreshed at some point this year, so I guess it'll then all be green.

Most were green with a yellow fan, mine has a red fan too though.

[aupickup]

early ones had a red fan, the fan pulley was black
later fans yellow

but i suspect one engine on here will get gold all over

Mine is flakey dirty gold... as it's a Goldseal. I guess at some point the gold gave it an extra turn of speed.
