Hello Jonas: I have a supposedly '55 TR2, with comm. no.4928, so would
doubt the year for sure. Mine, judging by the comm. nos. was likely
built in '54. Looking at the Triumph build data, that serial no is for
and early '3, likely built in '56 ?? Sure it wasn't an egg crate TR3
grille? The nose sections for '2 & '3 are identical AFAIK; the grilles &
surrounds differ. Should look for other evidence. Disc brakes? Door
handles? Rear deck details?
Cheers!
