So it was a little like Christmas today when I found the envelope from Heritage Motor Centre in the mailbox today for my TR3A!
They came up with the same engine and body numbers so it still has its original engine. I was surprised to see that it was originally Silverstone Grey with Silverstone Grey leather interior and a black top. It's currently painted powder blue but it looked to me like there was white under the blue in the engine compartment (and some black under that?) and it looks like the dash was covered with white as well so I figured it was going to come back that it was white originally!
Factory fitted equipment included 590 Whitewall tyres, Tonneau cover and Heater. Build date of May 4, 1959 and dispatch date of May 28, 1959 to Southwest Triumph Distributors Inc. Houston. It was shipped from the Royal Edward Dock, Avonmouth aboard the vessel "Dick Lykes".
I guess now I'm going to have to at least get one for my original TR4A as well. They've gotten me hooked now...
