I thought the RR D969/D585-R coils only came in red? Could be wrong though.

Presumably they were D-585, not D585-R ?

Most likely.

Re: the OP - are we saying they're D585s or D969/D585-R?
They're surely the former if bought in one of the group buys.

RR's manufacturer of their D585s at one point was Herko (IIRC) - I believe they're made elsewhere now, for what I believe to be good reasons.
They're probably okay but I'd err on the side of caution.

RR suffered from too many warranty claims on their original sets and, while they stood by them, they weren't getting anything back from the supplier.

Probably just as well that they limited the warranty to the original purchaser, not transferred if the coils or car is sold.

And I do believe that that policy regarding original purchaser is still in effect as I recently had a customer (with what I diagnosed as a weak/dead coil) who tried to return his which were one of the 'newer' sets (with the RR logo etched onto the coils) but they apparently refused due to him not being the original purchaser.

Something to bear in mind when buying second-hand D585s or a car with them already fitted.
