I thought that the silver wires on the white TR3 racecar looked washed-out, so I painted them semi-flat black. Sort of like Tivvy Shenton's white Jag 120. I replaced the wheels and left the new ones silver. I have some film photos from that era, but they are not scanned-in. I liked the look, though.
I always have liked the look of the LeMans TR2s with the BRG and the black wires. Very racy.
