<< Bill,
 
 My 57 TR3 (TS18010l(O)) does not have the self parking wipers.  The facia
 switch switches the hot lead and when you shut down the wipers stop where
 ever they happen to be.  This is kosher per the wiring digram.  My question
 is at what point did they implement self-parking wipers?  Was it the
 TR3/TR3A transition?  When?
 
 This is a question for the list in general. >>

According to Piggott at TS12567 (July 56) "Windscreen wiper motor changed 
from Lucas CRT 15 to Lucas DR2" - also changed the mount, the wire harness 
and the side of the car the motor was mounted on. 
It doesn't say the change was from a non-parking motor to a parking motor, 
but it was the only wiper motor change I saw.
