[TR] Tr3b Comm Plate

[John Macartney]

Bill
 
I'd speculate that as the 3B was only destined for the US market and
not many of them at that in comparison to 3A build, the likelihood of having a
new style Comm Plate for a car that wasn't totally different from its
predecessor is improbable. It's a lot cheaper to make a slight alteration
(e.g. the weight) than to go the whole hog and re-hash the whole thing.
But
that's only a speculation and backed up by the fact that Standard-Triumph
never spent any money on anything unless it absolutely had to. That said,
probably another lister will pop up to say his/her comm plate is totally
different.
