Oops. I guess I left that part out. TS18010L. So it is later than your car
but not quite to the TS22xxx numbers. Knowing the "restorer" the way I do it
is quite likely that he swapped out some natty TR3 doors for some clean TR4
doors and covered the hole.
But on the other hand, maybe the factory did it.
(Just kidding. Even the factory would have done a cleaner job of it.
