 I have a 3A (23731) which I had regarded as being an early 3A, possibly
 Nov build '57. I note your '58 at (22690), well this doesn't jive? While
 I don't have my reference material handy, I had scrutinized this with
 some depth, (first '58 model year car built etc). Are you certain that
 (22690) is a 3A?, I'd say either a very early 3A or even a late 3.

According to Moss catalogue 1st TR3A is TS22014 (September 1957). My car is
apparently among the first 700 TR3a's produced. Don't know why title sez '58.
I get a bit of a kick from the knowledge that this car is almost (within a
month or so) as old as its owner, DOB 6/30/58. I feel sure I was in existence
for at least 9 months prior - or 11/30/57, but unavailable for comment.
