Well, Keith, there must be something available from somewhere. Some time
ago (early to mid-1980s), when VTR offered such a service, I did have my
TR3B (and the one formerly owned by my now-ex-brother-in-law) researched,
at the same time having sent numbers for my two TR3As.
I don't have any of that in front of me; it's filed at home -- somewhere.
What I can remember, though, is that each record for the TR3A was separate
and each contained pretty much the same information as BMIHT supplies now,
although the presentation currently is much fancier. The information I got
for the TR3Bs was much less detailed, but did include basic specs and
build dates; and the two cars I'd researched, along with someone else's,
were all listed on one sheet of paper!
It may well be that the records of Forward Radiator and, therefore, TR3B
production, are with someone in the Standard Register or some entity other
than BMIHT???
