Dan
I saw your post that Carl Musson posted to the Triumphs list. Carl and I have
communicated for the last several years as he and I bought TR3s at about the
same time and were both looking for white cars with a black interior.
The reason I am writing you was that I saw that your car has commission number
TS21214. It is very close to my car's commission number which is TS21086L. It
looks like they are only 128 cars apart. Mine is titled as a 1957 and has the
small moth which I believe is correct. As far as the color, it is white now,
but I ordered the sheet from British Heritage Trust, it showed that the car
was originally a black car. I called the guy I bought the car from (he owned
it 25 years) and asked him when the car changed from black to white.... he
said he didn't know because the car was RED when he bought it!
Enjoy your TR3.

Carl,
I just purchased a TR3. I was told it was a 58 tr3a but the
serial number is TS21214 which is under the TS22014 number for the TR3a.
My car has the larger grill and the locking doors but it has the
TR3 trunk lid. My title shows the car as a 58. Should I be concerned
with this? Any imput that you may have on this would be great.
Thank you,
Dan McClain
