If it's the 1959 TR3S you're writing about (and not the TRS like the one
that Charles Runyon has) a replica was built in England. It was written up
in TR Action, the magazine of the TR Register.
For details contact Glen Hewitt who built it:- I believe it was up for
sale. But he may still have it.

conversion for the sidescreen TRs.
