By coincidence, there is an article in the soon-to-be-received-by-
VTR members _The Vintage Triumph_ on this very subject. Our TR250 vehicle
consultant Tom Waddell notes various sources that concluded a "white
metallic" called Platinum was the color; DuPont Centari #B8416A or Martin
Senour #90T2454 were good matches for the original.
