I don't remember, when did they delete the residual pressure valve ?
The TR3A/B has a valve in the braking system, that is supposed to hold light
pressure against the brakes all the time. If your car has the valve (my TR4
service manual shows it on top of the 5-way connector), most likely you are
seeing it work as designed.
I took disabled mine many years ago, and have never missed it.
