This interesting article was originally published in the May 1957 issue of 
Motor Sport, and briefly outlines a visit to the MG, Standard, and Austin 
factories.

If I am not mistaken, the first photo (unfortunately black and white and 
somewhat grainy) shows a TR3 wearing the almost-mythical "Grand Touring" 
conversion, with permanently attached side curtains and outside door handles.

My thanks to 'Andy' (not Andy Mace) on the BCF Austin-Healey forum for posting 
it.
