IMO not all cars got this treatment... my TR4 is very original and
certainly doesn't have it. Unfortunately, I see that the TRA guidelines
unequivocally state that all covers had the material on them so if you
are serious about concours I guess you will need it.
I suppose you could whip some up out of silicone sealer dyed or painted
a dirty grey (the kind that dries but stays flexible, possibly brand
name 'Alex'). The key is getting the right look. I recall John
Macartney (former Triumph employee) describing it as "looking like it
was applied with a wooden spoon by someone wearing a blindfold".
