Since it's in the garage all covered with miscellaneous junk, I hadn't
even thought about it. Now I'll have to look this weekend when I'm
there (both my cars are at my Dad's. Heated garage, ya know).
I had planned on trying to restore the TR2 to "original" specs, but have
pretty much given up on that idea, as it has too many odd, unavailable
parts. The TR3 will one day again be the bold Black w/ Red Leather
interior that it once was. As a bonus, all the numbers match my BMIHT
certificate, so I suspect that it does indeed have front discs.
Thanks for pointing it out.
