TRF is the only one who has these because they commisioned a hose company (in
Taiwan, I think) to make them. The original hoses for the TR6 were green so
if you care about authenticity, go green. Me, I'm never going to enter any
concours where green vs. not green hoses will make a lick of difference (not
with the exhaust system *I* have...) so I get black: still quite good and a
lot cheaper.
If you're going to get the green hoses, better get a Lucas battery and correct
sparking-plug wires, and lose that spin-on oil filter adapter.
