Original S1 engine bay colour - pictures

To help others in the future here are a couple of pictures of the original engine bay finish and colour on a very early Elan with body made by Lotus (after the switch from Bourne). Just need to add correct cam cover and airbox next.

The original colour on Bourne bodies was slate grey

Never seen a cream one…

It is a kind of creamy grey…

Very helpful, thank you. Gorgeous car BTW.
Happy New Year!
