I can't  say if it's genuine, but it certainly bears a strong resemblance to
the  illustration in my TR4A SPC (which of course doesn't show the color).
And  while Ted has been known to stretch the truth on occasion, I'm inclined
to  take his word for it.

Could be mistaken, but my understanding is that  the "tropical" TR2-4 fan 
was
an aftermarket accessory, made in Australia or  some such, not in the UK by
Standard-Triumph (though they may have fitted  it to some cars, on request).

Whether or not 211986 is a "tropical" fan, it is a TR4A fan as Randall  
notes. It was also used on the Vitesse 6 and 2L, early GT6 and 2000 sedan.
