[QUOTE="davidd, post: 32190, member: 1177"] Terry's bike was black. He had it with him in Switzerland when he worked for Fritz Egli. No harm asking him. I would be surprised if there were any factory built enclosed models that were painted red. A story does come to mind. I became friendly with Pip Harper, who made the enclosures in his shop many decades ago. Pip purchased an extra tub from Ted Davis so he could cut it apart and use it as a fixture for making the tub frames. He showed me the top of the tub that he had sawn off. It was very shop worn, but you could see that it was a Victor transfer. He did not realize what he had done until months after he had done it. He was in the process of building a copy of the Victor and he could have had the original tub! David [/QUOTE]
