With the very greatest respect to whoever compiled the Concours Guide, I regret
to say they are in
error. While the information was never made *generally public knowledge* it was
possible for a
customer to:
1. Specify any upholstery colour in the Standard-Triumph range for any model of
car made by the
company - even if that colour did not appear in the colour charts. Consequently
Dark Green and Tan
were other colours that could be specified for the TR4A.
2. Specify non-standard combinations of standard colours that appeared in the
colour charts.
Furthermore (though this is surely of little use to anyone now) I still have
the computer coding
codicils for those variants from the production indent code book and they were
written:
1. NSTC<DG> or NSTC<T> meaning non-standard trim colour dark green or tan as
applicable
2 Non standard combos were written NSCSC
Piping was white in all cases
Sorry, Darrell
