Thanks for the (very) many responses regarding the probable original
colour of the hoodsticks for TR3a commission number TS81417. Here is
what I concluded:
1. Earlier cars' (TR2, 3, and some 3a) hoodsticks were body colour.
2. Sometime around TS7xxxx, they were changed to tan, regardless of
body colour.
3. This lasted through TR3b and into the beginning of TR4 production,
but pretty early on the TR4 hoodsticks were changed to black.
I know this conflicts with what some of you reported, but I took into
account both the quality and the quantity of responses.
Regards,
Jim Wallace
