Actually, the factory thought of it half a century ago.  If your  TR has a 
dip stick you have a transmission form an earlier car.  Or a  cover from a 
later car.  That feature was eliminated along with the  factory provided 
access 
hole at some point in production, not doubt to  save a few pennies.  My 57 
has both.    



Oh, now I get it! I have a TR3A built in October '57, so when I read about  
having to cut a hole in the cover and it taking half an hour to top up the 
oil,  I was very confused. I didn't realise that feature was deleted on 
later cars.  That's really good to know.
