:text-goodpost:

That is an excellent bit of history. Thank you for taking the time to post this video for us to enjoy while we re-live some glorious moments at Le Mans 1961. I've gained real respect for Triumph's efforts that I was not aware of before. Having owned a TR7, it's great knowing more about the brands racing heritage.

Looking forward to the build on this TR4, great job!

I say BRG with yellow lips far the color. Mine will be Grp 44, or I might pull molds and do that plus the
team colors.

Are we going to have a full proxy field in BRG? :lol:

It's going to be a good'un Dave. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Pale blue would work well. Paler than French Blue.

I was going to do the MG in BRG and then realised that every Brit car in the field would be potentially BRG.

I like it. Pale primrose is a classic British sports car colour.

There's always the Racing White, which is more ivory.

I race against a guy who painted his TR-250 in the Shelby dark metallic blue with white stripes. It
looks really good, but I couldn't help ribbing him that he did that livery because he wishes it was a
Cobra.

I would do a color I could see on the track, especially such a small car...

How about this? Should be a fairly easy one to replicate...
