Greg,

Quick and easy reference is the beginning pages of the Moss catalogue.

=20

Yes, begins with =E2=80=9CTS=E2=80=9D ends with =E2=80=9CL=E2=80=9D(LHD) =
or =E2=80=9CLO=E2=80=9D(overdrive)

=20

The engine number is too far ahead of the commission number, typically =
the engine numbers run 300-600 ahead of the engine blocks to account to =
engines pulled out for other purposes, i.e. replacements or sales to =
other car builders such as Morgan or Swallow.  Engine numbers begin with =
=E2=80=9CTS=E2=80=9D and end with =E2=80=9CE=E2=80=9D(probably what is =
listed as a =E2=80=9C5=E2=80=9D on you registration).

=20

>From what you have written I would say you have a TR3A, commission =
number TS45337L, with a later engine and a TR3 nose, they readily =
interchange. =20

=20

Not going to win any Triumph concours competitions but still a fine =
looking fun driver that will turn heads.

Cheers,

Bill

Friend is looking at a small mouth TR3.  However, I don't think things =
are lining up right with numbers.

=20

Registered as a 59 too late right?

=20

Car number TS45337L (registrations starts with "T5" I meant to take a =
picture of the VIN plate but guess I didn't, should be TS right?"

=20

Body Number EB20549

=20

Engine Number: TS660715 (or last  "S")

=20

I don't have a lot of information on watch matches what, but Vin seems =
later than a small mouth.

=20

Thanks, Greg
