Dave, that's interesting.  Although the adjustable steering column was an
option throughout production, I don't think I've known a TR2-3A with
original adjustable steering.  And I don't think I've ever seen a TR3B that
*didn't* have one fitted originally.  S-T musta had a LOT of those to get
rid of!

Those adjustable wheels deteriorate more severely than just about
anything.  It's rare to see one above "awful" condition!  Most of them look
like this or much worse:
