When did Dover White really start?
I have a friend that has an R 27 in Dover White that was built March 12 1961. I checked with the archives but they have no color mentioned, which typically means Black, but the Dover White looks REALLY good and correct and period patina. If I was just looking at it I would say its original, or at least period, but it begs the question to the forum:
"When did they start putting Dover White on R 27's?" Do we have any way to really know when they started with varying colors?
Thanks for any help!!!

Re: When did Dover White really start?
Whitey and I are both a little frayed around the edges nowadays. (been riding this rig the past 49 years)
But we're still going strong, I switched from 2 wheels to 3 for the MotoGiro in 2019, and to good success.
Plus moving to sidecar class meant Ginni now comes along and participates, so we get to explore more interesting rural roads and vistas outside our usual New England stomping grounds while also competing, which has been just great.
