Be very careful of TR-2s as many of them no longer have the parts that
were unique to the early cars.
Mmm. Some other problematic things in addition to Bill's list, if you
are looking for complete authenticity: correct bonnet, correct
taillights on very early cars, correct unobtanium radiator and
thermostat housing on very early cars, correct early cylinder head and
carbs, even if the block has the right serial number. If you are
-really- nuts you might worry about having the correct top-speed-only
overdrive..
It took me ~ 4 years to find a usable set of TR2 seat frames (but
perhaps I was just unlucky..)
