Thread: Series III LWB Station Wagon questions

I've never seen a heater like the one you have there, very odd!

Cheers, Mike.

This one was a CKD so built here.
As suggested, they must have been using the left over parts. Although the Australian Series III heater blower body is plastic whereas the UK ones are steel so maybe they were still working out sourcing parts locally and that's why they used this heater ??

Hi Colin

I would be interested in the Heater if your selling. I have just purchased an early S3 1972 Station Wagon. It has no heater and no vent in the left wing so I assume it's the same as yours. I'm looking for a heater so if you are looking to sell I'd be keen.

Cheers

Steve

Already sold.
The few parts available are listed in Markets under 'Wrecking'

I have a very early "home market" privately imported series 3 (94600053A) which has series 2 hinges, tail lights but has the heater hole in the near side guard. Maybe "home market" were different from CKD. I suspect they just used up whatever parts they had . Triumph did this ...some of the early TR3s had left over TR2 components from new.

Just need to remove the rear fuel tank & axles and then get back to working on other projects.




Don't think I'll be growing tomatoes in the hothouse this year.......

Found this under the capping on the rear section




Must have been left by someone at the factory........
