Default Colour underneath 3 door Cosworth

Does anyone know the original colour underneath the 3 door Cosworth, doing a full restoration on my cosworth and want to keep it as original.
Also any 1 know of any good sunroofs, needs to be rust free

My car is going to be black, so white might be a bit bright under a black car.

If you aren't going for a 100% original resto personally I'd bare metal the underside, prime it, 3M bag seal it and then paint it black or grey if you want to retain the original style.
