Bristol D2 Engine Colour
« on: May 04, 2011, 21:51:43 »
Can anyone please tell me the original colour/color on the Bristol D2 motor?
   
   Is it the same as Austin Healey?
   
   Thanks!

   I believe  Bristol Engine blocks were  painted:-
   
   French  Grey
   
   I seem to recall that Tony Byford a Leading  UK  Bristol and early BMW  engine rebuild specialist of many years, researched the colour
   
   many moons ago and found the perfect match.[;)]
   
   Sorry do not know the manufacturer or a code just that it was French Grey

Rob,
   I can really describe the color, but have pictures of the engine out of the car.  It's the original color.  I can e-mail them to you with an address.

   My typing and editing are horrible.  Correction: I can not really describe the color.
