This was a rust free car that came with no engine or transmission, o a 1962 TR3B that was too far rusted to repair donated it's engine and transmission to the project. It's easier to find a restored one than one with patina.This is a 1958 Triumph TR3A according to the VIN, owever, s was common practice of the time, nbsp it was titled as a 1959, hich was the year it was actually sold new.Ĭar was rebuilt from the ground up 3 years ago. On a car meet this car sticks out amongst all the other restored TR3s. The paint on the passenger side door shows signs of the repair. The paint shows nice but if you look closely, you see the signs of age such as touchups and 'spiderweb' cracks. The car's odometer shows less than 16,000 miles which may very well be the original mileage, since it was sitting for so long. The underside of the car body has been rust proofed. There was a repair done to the passenger side door in the late 60s to remove a dent. I made sure it was safe to drive (new brakes, cylinders and converted to silicone brake fluid etc) and reliable (rebuilt carburetors, converted to modern oil filters etc.). I didn't want to restore a car which was in this sort of condition and opted to conserve its patina. The car had been stored in a garage for a long time by the widow of the first owner.When I eventually bought the car, it just had to be cleaned up and polished. This is a very nice example of a Triumph TR3a with great history.
