John,
I am going to say that the wound metal cable is the correct original version.
The black plastic ones are reproduction replacement cables. I am very
confident that this is true for TR250's and early TR6's up to 71 or 72. A
little
less sure about later TR6's. There may have been an introduction of black ones
at some point. Not well known tiny little detail. My 71 TR6 is correct with
wound metal and it is a bummer when a Judge deducts for it because it is not
plastic wrapped!
Cheers,
Darrell Floyd
