As I understood the factory used remainders of paint to paint the engines.
The most common colour is the orange/red shade you have on your engine. My
TR3a also came in orange/red. I repainted my engine in orange/red. A large
number of people however transfer to black. If you prefer originality go for
orange/red!!
