Hi a friend of mine has just bought a 1978 Mini pickup and were putting it back to standard, what we need to know is what colour was the standard engine? It's 850cc if that makes any difference

850Cc Engine Colour

I dont think 'BMC Green' was used after 1970 (ish)
Later engines were either yellow (998), red (1275) or black (1275, GTs and Cooper S) IIRC.
I think that 850 may have been black too
