The car I mentioned was a 1930 RK which was rediscovered by Neill Bruce in 1961, it has been taken out of regular use in 1935 and had probably only covered 12000 miles from new. The car as found was almost completely original and had a black painted ALUMINIUM carb and manifold.......my memory was playing tricks on me! So apologies Mike seems you may be quite correct that it was only the FZB which were painted black and possibly as you suggest to disguise the new material???
There is a full article about the cars discovery and recommissioning in Feb 1976 Veteran and Vintage magazine. The car has subsequently been featured in Rinsley Mills book.
