Several folks have commented about trunk (boot) lids with "budget locks"
at the extremes and a lock in the center for the earlier TRs and the
single, centered, locking trunk handle of the later 3As, etc. So forgive a
naive question from someone who has only owned post-60000 TR3As and 3Bs
(ok, there was that one rusty pre-60000 TR3A hulk I parted out years ago).
Don't the "budget locks" have a corresponding catch somewhere on the rear
apron or inner fender, and would that not then be a fairly good clue as to
which lid was original?
Honest, I'm not trying to be "smart-*ss" about this; I'm curious!
