1956 Triumph TR3 Roadster

The TR3 was built from 1955 to 1957. The year shown is the build year, because Triumph commission numbers carry no model year.
Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in 1957. Every build-year table puts this number in 1956; one listing puts it in 1957, which is shown as the alternate reading.
Built 1956 (approx.): this decoder reports a build year, not a model year.
