I have seen with the original black engine paint, have the TR plus a number=

(aka in the U.K. as corps or cores) and it would be tedious and cost prohib=
itive in the extreme to ship worn engines, gearboxes and other electrical it=
ems across the Atlantic or more oceans if you include Australia and the Far E=
ast. All unit recon work on engines and gearboxes for the U.K. and Europe wa=
s undertaken by a Standard-Triumph subsidiary called Beans Industries. In my=

ud of the unit recon and service exchange programmes he had established in a=
number of major markets and there was definitely one for the US and another=
for Canada. Basically, Standard-Triumph North America in Leonia, NJ togethe=
r with their opposite numbers in Toronto, contracted two local companies to d=
o their recon work as genuine factory replacements using parts supplied by S=
TNA and STC parts divisions. It can=E2=80=99t be ruled out that some blue Be=
ans recon units arrived stateside as part of regular parts shipments from th=
