TR3s and most all TR3As, yes. But it seems possible that some late TR3Bs
might have had some "closed" breather system via the vent or port in the
valve cover, particularly those sold in California. I seem to recall that CA
required PCV a year or so -- 1961, perhaps? -- before the rest of the US. My
own (soon to be Brad's, but aren't most Triumphs? :-) ) TR3B has the early
TR4-style valve cover with the brass plug fitted where the vent hose later
was taken off.
