Marcos Maniacs

Mine was a factory installed engine and was black.
as Don says , since most people used donor cars there was no specified 
color.
I remember however that at that time the only colors available were black or 
that horrible BMC green. I have  to talk to Rory in the morning so In will 
ask.
