Answer
Hi Paul,
As I remember all of the frames were black and only body pieces were the color of the car. They were painted separately then assembled so looking at a new car from the underside on a green car you would see every part of the body, floor and wheel wells all green and the "X" shaped frame all black. If a dealer had an option of undercoat, then the wheel wells would probably be black too but the factory supplied them painted. I don't have anything in writing but that is how I remember them. You could scan the net for the Triumph Registry as they usually have data on details of Triumphs.
