Hi All,
I wondering what the colour was of the TT Ulsters. I've heard it referred to as "Blood Orange". Does anyone have something a little more precise?

I always understood (or assumed) that the TT cars were more of a vermilion shade, similar to the exposed area at the base of the scuttle in Chris' photo - hence the term Blood Orange.

You could always ask the Duke of Richmond. He has a model of the 1930 Double Twelve car purported to be painted in the same blood orange as the car.

From memory it had been in Canada for some years before being brought to Ireland for a major rebuild.
