Never knew that! Is it very common knowledge that early Li Specials and TV175’s had white engine mounts?

I'd heard that some models had painted mounts. But I think it's very rare for them to survive.

My ‘63 TV175 still has the flywheel side, white engine mount on, a lot of the paint has come off but you can still see it was white. I changed the kickstart side as that side that goes.
