Jon,
I'm sure you're right, PBS budgets are probably pretty tight and the car may
belong to someone associated with the show.  I was just happy to see a TR3
in a fairly current TV series.

I believe the time period for the show is around 1953-54,  guess they
couldn't find a nice TR2.

Given that film production companies do *sometimes* spend reasonable time
searching for cars that exactly match the time period for the storyline, I
guess there are some that don't have too many 'automotively-minded'
reseachers to get the production absolutely right. I've met a good few of
the latter group in recent years. Equally, there are quite a lot of people
(in the UK anyway) who won't make their cars available for a shoot and so
the production people have to go with the best that's available, even if it
doesn't quite 'fit' for the enthusiast.
