They were silver on Norwood 71s

I would be interested in anyone else's observations on known original cars - Might be worth starting a new thread....
my original 71 ho 7/71 built Norwood car has argent fillers. This car had been sitting in a field for 20 years(the owner was sent to prison).I bought it from this guys father.2nd owner from mid 70's, every single original piece still intact. EVen all the hoses and belts were original production pieces. could it have been changed, maybe, but would have been surprised considering how original every other componant has been.. but as i learned a long time ago, we all think we have original cars and over 40 years a lot can be changed and still look aged as if it was original...
