I always understood that the TR3S was purpose built for LeMans, and 
while it
looked like a TR3, was very 'special and distinctive'.

Anybody ever seen one?  Are there any still around?

Bill, I'm going strictly from memory here, but I'd always heard that 
the TR3S cars were essentially disposed of after the 1959 events, or at 
least the bodies were, to be replaced by the TRS bodies. I also seem to 
remember hearing that one of those TR3S fibreglass bodies has managed 
to survive. Since the wheelbase on those cars was six inches longer, 
any sort of recreation using that original body would involve some 
reworking of a stock TR3 chassis. ;-)

Of course, the four TRS cars all still survive (not counting the new 
replicas that Neil Revington has come up with).
