OK, My (the wife's?) TR3 is still positive ground and will remain so for
the simple reason that one of the main appeals of that car is the
anachronistic nature of it.  That not only includes the reversed polarity
but the push button starter, the lack of outside door handles, the hand
crank, the side curtains and all the other inconveniences that were
forsaken on the much more modern TR6 and TR8 that serve as more serious
drivers in my fleet.  I have installed a switchable polarity radio (set to
positive ground, of course) for purely sentimental reasons since it is a
radio I purchased new in 1971 from JC Whitney.  I still have the box and
the receipt so I guess I could return it if it doesn't work but it is
mostly useless since I can't hear it over the road noise.  And it is AM
only.

It all fits with the carriage key latches on the boot lid.
