Technically, it's a 3B, but I'll accept it.

Erm
The TR2 had no grille, just an opening with the radiator behind
The TR3 had a grille which was the size and shape of the TR2's - approximately square with rounded corners. The grille itself had a more or less square mesh
The TR3A had the 'wide mouth' grille shown in both the above photos.
The "TR3B" didn't officially exist. It was externally identical to the TR3A but had the 2138cc engine of the TR4.

The Confusion comes because when Triumph modified the original TR3 they named the new model TR3A rather than retrospectively naming the original as TR3A and the new one as TR3B, which is what most manufacturers would have done.

Alrighty then...

Can any of our new members ID some of these bits?

With the advent of another "piece" puzzle, I thought a

may be in order.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #31 on:** January 09, 2009, 05:53:54 AM »

Picture "D" is two different views of the same assembly.

A bit of history - and a potential for extra points!

February 6, 1985

On this day, Walter L. Jacobs, founder of the first car rental company, died. Although he was "not exactly" the founder of the Hertz Corporation, Jacobs' car rental business became the Hertz Corporation after it was purchased by John Hertz in 1923. At the age of 22, Jacobs opened a car-rental business with a dozen Model T Fords that he personally repaired and maintained. Within five years, his business generated an annual revenue of around $1 million. After he sold his business to Mr. Hertz, the president of the Yellow Cab and Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company, Jacobs remained Hertz's top executive. In addition to its innovations within the car rental industry, Hertz also maintains the unusual distinction of having been a subsidiary of both the General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company.

In honor of the 24th anniversary of Mr Jacobs' passing, for today only - February 6th - I'm offering 10 additional points to whomever can solve the last remaining bit of this puzzle.

...Bits and Pieces...

Here's something a little different. A puzzle with a potential payoff, and a potential risk. These pictures - either heavily cropped shots of the parts you see every day or some of the parts that help them go - range from mundane to exotic automobiles, from a wide chronological range.

Name them all correctly to get 10 points.

Name less than all of them correctly, and loose a point from your current points rating for each misidentified picture.

Though SeaLion declared J solved, he was in fact incorrect.

I, N and Q are indeed American.

Ray B. · « **Reply #36 on:** March 02, 2009, 04:58:14 AM »

I is very simply the first Mustang (1964 1/2-1966).

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #37 on:** March 02, 2009, 05:11:14 AM »

That's it! I see you were drawn to the car pictured with a girl.

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #38 on:** March 02, 2009, 06:56:32 PM »

J – 1949 Ferrari 166 Inter Berlinetta by Stabilimenti Farina
M – 1971-74 AMC Javelin AMX

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #39 on:** March 03, 2009, 03:01:42 AM »

You're right!

Joao Gois · « **Reply #40 on:** March 03, 2009, 12:12:55 PM »

Could B be a steam engine?

I really dunno what does one may look like...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #41 on:** March 03, 2009, 04:15:06 PM »

Nope - a tad more ordinary than that.

Ray B. · « **Reply #42 on:** March 03, 2009, 04:33:42 PM »

Q might be the 1955 Oldsmobile Delta 88 concept car.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #43 on:** March 03, 2009, 04:49:51 PM »

Not that car, but not all that far off, either.

Ray B. · « **Reply #44 on:** March 03, 2009, 05:08:03 PM »

Then this is the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special

Hey - Otto: Any way we can get a bigger pic of the unsolved pieces?

Yes, I believe I can accommodate that! Stand by...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #48 on:** July 10, 2009, 06:49:03 AM »

OK - D is a pair of the same thing. They are carburetors from a car that is well-known by regulars of this site.

Stephen M · « **Reply #49 on:** July 30, 2009, 10:22:19 PM »

The underside of "E" has a bit of a keel to it. Amphicar?
