Hello and thank you for accepting me on the forum. I'm a Brit, living and working in the Middle East but with a fondness for interesting machinery. Having just sold my Lancia Flavia, I seem to have bought unseen from South Africa, what was advertised as a 1959 TR3. All well and good, but I'm having doubts as I look into it. No door handles, drum brakes up front, a TR2 nose and badge, that the seller tells me was apparently added later, cable bonnt release, no separate indicators and an Engine number of TS7513E, which with minimal research makes me think it's a TR2 unit? No commission number as the plate is missing, but a plate on the firewall saying TR7 (!).
I've attached a few pics and would really welcome some insight from the knowledgeable people out there. Yes, I know it's got no inner wings, the electrics look scary and the colour is more 1975 than 1955, but I can deal with that for now!
I'd be really grateful to anyone able to shed a bit more light on the thing!
Thanks
