batery tray wrong spot also the paint on the inside of the boot under the parcel shelf should be body color and it isnt,and the paint under the bonnet where the rubber sits above the heatbox should be painted black not body color apart from those minor problems it,s all go..................

Hi ultrabluea9x

The area in the boot under the parcel shelf is body colour on mine (10/72 Adeliade). I have always thought this is incorrect because I have a number of pictures of other cars showing that area to be black. The hinges on mine are all body colour too but other pictures show the bottom of the hinges are black up to a point in line with the lip of the boot.

All the photos that I have show the area under the bonnet where the rubber strip sits as body colour.

Maybe it is another one of those Adelaide/Brisbane anomalies? Perhaps the paint scheme changed at some time.
