Dave, on most "original" cars I've seen over the years, the seam DOES SHOW.

I will confirm Andy's observation. My TR3B seams show and I think it is
original.
However, I have seen a number of TR3's with no seam showing. It's almost as
if the seamed cars are in the minority. I was always curious which is
correct.
