I believe that the boot lid changed at TS60000...I'm not aware of any
changes to the lid itself, other than this revision.
The most noticeable difference is in the cruciform stiffener on the
underside of the lid. On the earlier cars, this was fabricated from
stamped pieces, and welded to the lid. On the later cars. the
cruciform was fabricated from tubular stock, and I believe it could be
unbolted from the lid.
I believe that the later lids also had a raised stamping where the
hinges fasten to the lid.

Subject: A TR3 question
Hi All:
I have a 1958 TR3A (TS22459). Interestingly enough, this car has a
boot with two budget locks, one on each side of the lid, and a central
key lock. According to the book `Original Triumph TR' by Piggott,
this configuration, which was standard on TR3's, was replaced by the
central handle when Triumph started to building 3A's. So, the
question arises as to whether my car has the original lid or not. It
is an early TR3A, the 445th one made according to the SN and one of my
books. Maybe Triumph was just using up some remaining parts. What
do you all think? Does anyone know of another car similarly
configured? I will appreciate any comments.
