Dear Group I was interested to read the reply from Stephen D Stierman to Bill Harte with regards to the engine colour he mixed "light grey green". My engine about to be stripped down is roughly the same colour I call it the old BMC engine colour duck-egg blue or green. The engine to the best of my knowledge is original and from the condition of the car when I bought it I can't see any body doing any repaint on the engine. The gearbox is red, could the engine infact be the correct colour in stead of the red everyone mentions? The Engine number is 8617 Chassis number 7732 enquiries in the UK are unable to confirm that the colour is correct? Regards David Thoumine Down Under

What is the correct shade of red for a TC engine? Does it happen to be the same as an MGB engine? I have some of that. Maurice. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
