[TR] 63 TR 4 engine red

[TR250Driver at aol.com]

Black is certainly the normal excepted color for a TR4 engine block as  
original.  However, in the glory days gone by of VTR there was a very  original 
award winning TR3B with it's engine block painted red. We are  talking 
early 90's. It was owned and driven by Shelly Sackstein from the  east coast.  
New Jersey I believe.  He was big into racing &  autocrossing with the 3B and 
would then show it in Concours with a U-Haul truck  of Trophies perched 
behind.  He claimed that he had owned this Triumph from  new and the engine was 
always factory red.  U out there Shelly?
 
Happy New Year to All,
Darrell
