[TR] TR3 for sale????

[Dave]

The very early MGB's had three-main blocks but soon switched to five-main blocks but the aluminum bonnet and boot lid continued for quite some time, perhaps throughout the entire production run.  My 65 was so configured.

Interesting that the big Healey's had steel bonnets and boot lids but aluminium shrouds.

I met a guy at a car show yesterday with a very early production MGB – it was a 1962.  One of the first 700 cars made.
 
Neat car, built at multiple plants sort because the body was done out of house.
 
Had an aluminum bonnet and boot lid instead of steel, the panels were constructed differently and lots of little details were quite different from the cars made when they got production fully up and going.

I am not sure, but that MG did not produce the MGB until maybe 63? I had a 57 MGA and I know the A was produced until at least 62. 
So not only does ER Classics get the car but also the year wrong. 

Nice car though.
