Hello,
I am interested in a TR 3 serial TS 81027 L that is for sale a few hours from
me.
Is this car a TR 3 "B" with the full syncro gearbox?
==AM==
No, it's a 3A, as Bill noted. 3B car commission numbers started with TSF
(pretty much as per 3A,
but with all-synchro gearbox), or TCF (2138cc. engine and all-synchro gearbox).
And, as Bill noted,
it could easily have had an all-synchro gearbox installed at some point.
There are folks who seem to go only by year of registration, so if it's
registered as a '62,
they assume it's a 3B (actually, a great number of 3Bs seem to have ended up
first being titled as
'63 models)!
==AM==
I have yet to look see the car but the seller says that the motors oil filler
is at the front of the car not back near the battery.
==AM==
And that's as it should be with an original 3A engine.
