back in the 50's, new car introductions took place in September so
even though you have a build date in 57 the car would take time to A:
sit in the yard and gather it' first coat of fine British rust. B: Be
transported to the docks where it could sit in the storage yard in
good damp salt sea air. C: be transported across the ocean either on
deck where it could receive fresh sea spray showers or in the dark
damp hold...D:Sit in the port of entry storage yard, handily located
on ocean front property whilst awaiting bureaucratic
disembarkation.E: go for a scenic ride by train or truck to it's
destined dealer all in time for it's debut as "The New Triumph TR3A!"
Complete with Original British Rust.
