[TR] TR2 to TR3 Transition Question

[Angelo Graham]

Hello Jonas: I have a supposedly '55 TR2, with comm. no.4928, so would 
doubt the year for sure. Mine, judging by the comm. nos. was likely 
built in '54. Looking at the Triumph build data, that serial no is for 
and early '3, likely built in '56 ?? Sure it wasn't an egg crate TR3 
grille? The nose sections for '2 & '3 are identical AFAIK; the grilles & 
surrounds differ. Should look for other evidence. Disc brakes? Door 
handles? Rear deck details?

Cheers!
