Don't you want to know about the 3 litre then? it's where the red/green/black/blue labels etc originated.

3 litre model from 1919 to 1927, 4 cylinder 16 valve twin spark.

Red label - Short chassis.
Blue label - long chassis.
Green label - 100mph special.

Trouble is, you could have any colour badge on any model if you wanted, so it got a bit confusing hehe

Glad to find that out, thats certain to be a question on "who wants to be a millionaire"!! Now you mention it my Turbo R has red coloured badging - presumably standard?

Mine has red badging too, standard on the nose & tail, but I think it was an option on the rear pillars.

I've got them too, perhaps I am mistaken and they were standard? Ho Hum.
