[TR] Late TR3A hood stick color

[Karl Vacek]

TSF130L, a '62 TR3B first titled in '63, had the "sandalwood beige" color 
when I bought it in August '65.  The car was pristine and had no body work 
or repainting at that time - interior as new, etc.  I'm quite sure that was 
the color of the hoodsticks when it left the factory.  And yes I do wish I 
hadn't had to sell it the next fall to go to college.  :-(
