[TR] TR3 Tonneaus

[John Wise]

I took a couple of pictures of the tonneau (that came with the car when I
bought it), as it fits on my 60 TR3A.

Living in Az & now FL, the tonneau is what is on the car 98% of the time & it
kepis the inside dry when it is out in the  rain.

 I will be happy to send them  if it will help.
