Gunnar,
A lovely car! Serial number 3184, Engine number TS1187ME (Definitely a
TR2), Gearbox number 697 was originally black with black interior, Left hand
Drive with 3.73 final drive ratio. It was shipped 11 October 1954 to
Worldwide Imports, Los Angeles, California.
When I first saw the car in the early 1980s, it was owned by Nan Noble , in
San Diego, California and had just been restored. It was painted a pale
yellow. Unfortunately, Nan died in the late '80s and the car went to Ray
Wood, also in San Diego for a while and then to Knut Hallan, who took it to
Norway in the early '90s. It never did get much mileage after Nan had it
restored so it should be very much the same as it was 20 years ago, a lovely
car.
I hope this helps.
Gerry
