Hello all,
I received this query from Mike McMullen on the VTR WWW
site. Do any of you that know more about TR-3As want to
take a stab at this one?
Please make sure your replies are sent to (or carbon

Its me again - the guy who was asking about ribbed vs. smooth letters for
TR-3A. Many thanks for the responses, indicating that ribbed letters were
original on some very late TR-3As (like mine, TS 80486 L). As mentioned in
the Moss catalogue, the changeover point when all cars had smooth letters is
unknown, with both ribbed and smooth original on late TR-3As & TR-3Bs.
Probably the factory had a lot of ribbed letters to use up after the smooth
ones arrived on the production line.
I have another (hopefully easier) query: what is the proper shade for
painted wire wheels on a TR-3A? I'm hoping someone has researched this and
found a com- monly available Rustoleum "Aluminum", or other garden variety
spraycan paint
for the DIY folks that want to keep their cars "original." Many thanks, and
hope to meet lots of new TR friends next week in Fort Worth! - Mike McMullen,
KC Mo
