to follow on this thread, my TR3 is TS13796L on the plate, which an
experienced Triumph mechanic said looked original, was listed by BMH as
TS13796LO
am not sure which to believe - I do know that the diffy and tranny are not
original as per the DPO, who was not even the original owner. since the car
was in poor shape (sat outside for 25 years in Dallas), it is hard to tell
if it came originally with OD.
