Hi, Pat, Carl & List. I just received my 3A's trace from Bill Piggott, and
for my car (TS 22930 LO), the build date was Wednesday, October 16, 1957
(10:30 am to 2:00 pm). I suspect yours would still have been in October,
probably the following week. My original colour was Signal Red, with black
vynide trim. Interesting that it has been blue in the past and is now black!
Pat - contact me off-list - I'd like to check some other specs with you
concerning our two cars! Cheers, JD
