Triumph TR3 - side curtain colour

The side curtains that came with my 1959 TR3A have long lost their coverings. Along the entire bottom edge of the side curtains is a red trim. The Moss catalog shows the covering to be black or white and I cannot make out any trim. I was wondering if the original side curtain covering was red to match the interior or is it just trimmed in red with a black covering? I also assume the covering is a vinyl material?

The side curtains came all one color. The color is identical to the top. Re-do your sidecurtains the same color as your top.

I sent the bare frames to Roadster Factory. They sent them out to Larry Learn in Indiana PA, about 20 miles from TRF. He did mine in the exact color and material at my top. It took him about 6 months but then I was restoring my TR3A and they arrived in lots of time.

Speak to Dave, the tech guy at TRF and mention my name and ask if they can match your top for color and texture.

Or call Larry Learn directly. Try below - it may be him.
