dsl ◊ 2020-04-30 23:06	It's probably a TR3B - "The TR4 succeeded the TR3A in October 1961, but Triumph’s US dealers were concerned that the new model would not appeal to their customers. As 90% of TRs were sold in the States, it was decided to fit surplus TR3A bodyshells with the TR4’s 2.2-litre engine and all-synchromesh gearbox. Triumph began to make the export-only TR3B in March 1962, six months after TR3A production had formally ceased. The last Bs were built in October of that year.". So TR3Bs seem also to have gone to CDN .....
