The Blue TC was originally black. In Jan 1959 there was a major engine overhaul, and the car was painted Mercedes Benz cream. In 1967 an oil line was lost, necessitating another major engine job. Bill Monroe repainted the car a bright red. I bought it in Oregon and drove and ferried it to Alaska. I had it painted blue in 1976 after driving it to Long Beach for a GoF. Blue TC was originally registered in England on 10 Sept. 1947, and issued license KMM 552, which is still on the car. Known owners and history as follows:
