[TR] 1958 Works Monte Carlo Rally TR3A Valve Cover Info?

[John Macartney]

I've forwarded Don's email to someone who will certainly know a lot about this
car - for further comment. I'll advise the list as soon as I have an answer.
In terms of price, I'd speculate that if the car really does have the claimed
provenance, US$75,000 at least - and probably more. About six months ago, the
original  and it WAS the original factory TR2 Press Car (in superbly restored
condition) came up for sale and was sold to an anonymous buyer for somewhere
in the region of US$150k.

JD Classics
in the UK is advertising for sale an apple green works
TR3A (restored)
reportedly prepared for the 1958 Rallye Monte Carlo.  Here's a
link:

I don't think I've seen this particular
valve cover before.  Anything
the collective wisdom of the list could tell
about it would be appreciated.
And are the leather bonnet straps original
equipment to the rally cars
from this period?
