Re: TR6 engine color

["Terry & Cindy O'Beirne" <esp@hypermax.net.au>]

It is my understanding that all 6 cyl triumph engines were painted in a 
satin black. Satin, not full gloss and not dead flat.

They also had hand painted on them a code representing the cam/head 
combination so the assemblers knew which model it was destined for. We 
have had new blocks like this in stock until recently and 2 of our own 
original cars (TR5 & T2500 sedan) still have these markings clearly on 
them.
