Francois, basically this is correct. But the lack of the "cutting in the
bulkhead...no blanking plate" is also true of the "new body tub" introduced at
TS60001 (also featuring the raised hood/trunk hinge mounts, "flat" rear floor,
etc.). So there are two distinct "flavors" of the TR3A: TS22014 and later; and
TS60001 and later. For the most part, TR3Bs closely resemble the TS60001 and
later cars.
