Jason As Andy Mace has advised, they were black with a coppery valve cover. Standard-Triumph used this coppery gold paint for at least five years (maybe more) after it sold the Ferguson tractor business - but never cancelled the paint contract. When sold, Ferguson was making the FE35 model with a coppery gold skidded unit and Ferguson Grey bonnet, wheel centre plates and splashers (rear 'mudguards') So, if you want the correct colour of gold or copper, go to a tractor refurb specialist. All the gold or copper colours I've seen in the UK from the car paint suppliers is different to the genuine article. FWIW...
