If you join TRA https://www.triumphregister.com/
you can get a build record for $20 that will tell you the date your car was built.

Offhand I would say early '58.

Hi, Jeff -

According to the info I have, your car was built between July and October of '58. But the register will pin it down for you. You can also go to British Motor Heritage Industry Trust and get a build record.

And welcome to the Forum!

TS35350 -- July '58
TS38177 -- October '58 I'd say about the middle to end of September '58. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

As far as replacement panels go, I bought mine from Moss Motors. They have most panels in stock for immediate shipment. All of the panels I got from them have fit well. I didn't get any exterior panels, so I can't comment on how they fit.

Another source is The Roadster Factory. Their inventory is a bit more spotty, but they have high quality stuff.
The third source of the BIG 3 is Victoria British.

After that, you have to go to England.

I am waiting for The British Heritage Industry Trust to let me know when my '57 TR3 was built.

Need to know so we can celebrate her 50th birthday.

Amazing that over 20,000 rolled off the assembly line in just 1 year.

Here's the birth certificate for TS1203LO...FYI

My TR3A was "born" in Canley near Coventry on Friday, February 14th between 2:30 and 4:00 PM. That's St Valentines Day. I took delivery of it in mid-May, 1958.
