Subject: [TR] TR3 Commission Numbers<br>

There is a car on ebay listed as a 1959 TR3 with Commission Number <br>
EB31535 range. A Commission Number in that range suggests 1958 and <br>
earlier (my car is a 1958 TR3A with TS32093LO). The car has a small <br>
mouth front apron but later SUs with push on fittings rather than the <br>
banjo fittings found on '58 and earlier cars. Anyone know what the EB <br>
prefix means in the Commission Number? The owner says that the title <br>
does say 1959.<br>
