The engine of my very original 2-seater P-type (2118) is dark green and has
clearly been green for many, many years. I have had the engine completely to
pieces and there is not the slightest trace of any red anywhere (and this is
not the sort of car to have been properly repainted in the past!). I
strongly suspect that the engine was this dark green colour from new.
Just visible under the very thin green paint is a number or code stencilled
large in yellow on the side of the crank case. It is not legible but is
about three numbers/letters and an oblique. Any ideas?

In 1961 I bought a TC in Pittsburgh, Pa; number 5007. The engine was green.
A dark/grey green.......I still have some bolts here from that car......I
believe it was original........but that does not jibe with anything you read
about TC engine colors..........so to hell with it, I'm painting mine green,
Chrysler Borodine Green........and anyone that doesn't like it can argue
with
Barry Walker!!
