Default 6 cylinder engine colours

Mike,

What is the current colour of the external surface of the block?
It is always difficult to describe colours by email but the original colour
of all Bristol 6 cylinder blocks that I have seen is a pale green/grey
similar to many lathes & mills made in the 40's & 50's .
The inside surface of the block should be painted in a dark red colour.
I'll try to find a photo of one and post it on the forum later .
Geoff
