I'll take an anal-retentive stab at it.
The non-fabric covered panel (that matches the other interior trim) is not
correct for TR2/3; black crackle is correct for TR3A/B.
Early TR2 panels were aluminum vice steel (has a judge ever checked?).
Green lens instead of amber lens; Piggott cites TS70182 vice TS70179.
Positions switched here.
Panel and wiper knobs are reversed because he uses a rheostat panel switch
which is appropriate for post-TS60001 home market cars and earlier (2/1959 -
again, per Piggott) on export cars, but not correct back to TR2.
Problem with text:
Use of the word "Concours" in the context of "Triumph TR2, TR3, TR3-A, TR3-B
facia".
Use of the word "facia" when "panel" is a better choice.
Use of the word "accurate" in the context of the oil pressure gauge, or any of
the Triumph gauges for that matter.
"But It Now" price of $695 and current bid of $255; I had better drag out all
the complete panels I have in the storage unit and eBay them now!
I'm sure I missed something . . .
