Here's my $.02 worth,
I have attended the Okanagan British car show for the last 4 years and every
TR4/4A there was red. The car I'm rebuilding (1965 TR4A Solid Axle) was red
when I got it. Bad Maaco paint job. After stripping it down it was
originally Spa White , so I'm going back to the original colour with a red
interior. I can picture it now....vrooom

Greg-- so refreshing to hear this viewpoint put across by someone who has
done the "red thing" and not forgetting the "sapphire blue thing" as well.
Over this side of the pond----bonny Scotland actually--- I'm tired of being
told that, TR6's especially, only command good prices if they are in red or
sapphire blue. I, like yourself, find the other original colours in the
Triumph range more appealling, namely Jasmine yellow, Damson, Emerald green,
Saffron yellow ( oh how many have succumbed to the colour change) White and
yes Java green---nice choice Sir.
Lets hear it for the people out there that actually like the rarer colours
(now) and have the balls to stand up and say "Give me something other than
RED"
