Black is certainly the normal excepted color for a TR4 engine block as
original. However, in the glory days gone by of VTR there was a very original
award winning TR3B with it's engine block painted red. We are talking
early 90's. It was owned and driven by Shelly Sackstein from the east coast.
New Jersey I believe. He was big into racing & autocrossing with the 3B and
would then show it in Concours with a U-Haul truck of Trophies perched
behind. He claimed that he had owned this Triumph from new and the engine was
always factory red. U out there Shelly?
Happy New Year to All,
Darrell
