Page 68 of the "T Type Restoration Handbook" seems to contradict what Chip
Old wrote on page 59. Page 59 implies that the TF only came with one red --
dark red (with a code "C"). The same page excludes light red for the TF.
Please note that autumn red is a dark red, and that MG red is a light red.
Also, the TSO for June 1996 indicates that autumn red is the only red for
the TF.
It appears that page 68 of the Handbook has a misprint. The correct TF red
seems to be autumn red.
