Hmmm...
Yes, my 3.5 litre has a red fan too. But this post is in the '3 litre' section.

I think they are red on V8's, perhaps late Mk3's/Land Rovers had the red fans? Alternatively its another Rover parts bin/different suppliers that they were notorious for with BL carrying on the tradition where it was cheaper still

Red, White or Black - the choice is yours!
Why not red, white and black!! It must be correct (in part) then.

From a safety issue, red is the obvious choice. To accidentally touch a revolving fan is not a pleasant experience.

Or you could paint it rainbow colours - then it would look white when spinning |
