Subject: TR3B Seats
Andy,
My TR3B, commission # TSF 263, has the flat bottom pans.
The seats, which I
think are original, are vinyl and still in pretty good
condition. Remember,
there were two batches of TR3B's built. The first batch
(TSF) had the TR4
all-synchro transmission but the TR-3A engine. The second
batch (TCF) added
the TR4 engine (with the oil filler on the rear rather than
the front).
According to TRF, cars of the first batch were identical to
TR3A's, but
that's not true because many (or possibly all) had the TR4
transmission.
A good guess might be that the first batch had the TR3A
seats and the second
batch had the TR4 seats.

This may be a false assumption since the production of TSF
(Mar-Sep, 62)and TCF (May-Dec,62) overlapped.
