From memory white and slate, but my memory not as good as it once was.
If it's not broke don't fix it.

I think your memory is still pretty good :wink: ,
as WS is the colour my very early (1975-1976) workshop manual states for the wires between coil and tachometer.

1976 TR7 FHC (currently being restored ...)
1980 TR7 DHC (my first car, a.k.a. Kermette)
1981 TR7 FHC (Sprint engined a.k.a. 't Kreng)
