1963 would be seriously late -- like the year after the last-of-the-last TR3Bs were made. What's the commission number? That'll give some guidance.

 

Although note these late cars don't really have any rules about what's right. It might be exactly like a TR3A, or it might have a few TR4 bits sneaking in.

Mark,

 

Assuming it is an original RHD, then it's not a TR3B -

they were all LHD.

 

Your car was probably manufactured late in 1960, just

maybe very early 1962 but there were considerable

stockpiles and I would not be all that surprised if a few

weren't sold until early 1963.

 

Can't think of any differences after the re-tooling of the

bodywork after TS 60,001 and even that wouldn't be a

problem. Mechanically, no late changes.

 

As has been suggested above, you should get a copy

of the original build record from BMIHT or, if you are a

Register member, Bill Piggott (details included in the

Newsletter).

Depends on where the car came from, if registered first in the US then it would tend to be registered as a 63 despite it being a 62 or if its an import then DVLA may well have registered it erroneously.

Do you have the commission number ? or any numbers from engine, gearbox & chassis (front cross member on top)

That would identify the model, & probable year of manufacture

Hi Marky ~

 

Here's a photo showing the location of the 'Z' plate fitted on top of the chassis front crossmember.

If you PM me your email address I'll send you a complete list of 'Z' numbers which will help you

find out the year of your car's manufacture.

 

Tom.

'Pooftah Blue', a colour especially mixed for the US market. And they were right: acres of powder blue cars were shipped to the US, not only TRs - And don't mention that it was a Californian thing... I wouldn't continue commenting this colour, Don... :lol::lol:
