I also have a bonnet like this which will eventually replace the
one on my car which has raised hinge platforms and is not correct.
I'm pretty sure that the replacement came from either a TR3 or an
early TR3A. I don't have my books here but I think that Piggott
mentions something about this in one of his books. I'm not sure
it it want in one of the tables or in the actual text.
