For the benefit of the purists who strive for originality, black was a
non-standard paint colour for all Triumphs without exception. Black cars were
painted only on Friday afternoons and before the paint lines were purged and
sealed off prior to a weekend shutdown. Black TR's were a fairly common sight
on UK roads in their day and looked impressive. Mostly, they were used by the
Police who only used black cars 30+ years ago.
