Well, I wasn't there at the time; but the factory documentation (SPC), TRA
judging standards, and historians like Bill Piggott all seem to agree that
it was at the TR3/3A changeover.  Meaning 22013 (the "last" TR3) had fabric,
and 22014 (the "first" TR3A) had paint.

Personally, I like the paint better, so TS13571L is wearing black crinkle
powder coat (a memento from FT).  The car came to me with a shiny "machine
turned" aftermarket cover on the panel, that I think is hideous.
