. Anyone got a clue as to the survival rate?
Oliver:
According to Piggott and others the first TR3 was built on Oct 7th, 1955
with a commission # of TS8709, the last was built Sept 17th, 1957 at
commission number TS22013.
Assuming no lapses in sequence that would result in a total of 13,304 built.
Of that number I have always heard there is about a 10% survival rate with
barely half of those still on the road world wide. BTW, all TR3s are small
mouth. The TR3A is the wide mouth.
A couple of years ago someone one this list compiled the names of side
screen owners on this list along with their car's commission number. Can
that be repeated for I seem to have lost it.
