Dear Triumph Folks, As the coordinator of the two major California British car meets, I get a bunch of related info, especially about cars for sale. I usually know nothing about the cars or the owners so I can't help evaluate the car or price but feel that it is important to get the info out so the car can go to an enthusiast, rather than a dealer/broker (as they say on Seinfeld, "not that there's anything wrong with that.").
This one really intreagued me, partly because I just wrote a Buyer's Guide for TR3s for Moss' British Motoring Magazine and partially because I'm normally a BMC/MG kind of guy but these roadsters are fast and solid and easy to find parts for. I don't have the time to rebuild this one, and the seller has not included a price so I'm not sure how good a deal it is, BUT, If this is the type of project that you have in mind - CHECK IT OUT! Thanks and we'll see you Californians at either Palo Alto or LA this year.

Why I am sending you this e-mail is that I have a 1960 TR-3 that was my dream to rebuild and to pass on to my daughter. However, over the years this car has not been used and needs someone that has a high level of interest to put it back on the road. I have far to many projects at this point to invest the time and money for this activity. I am the second owner of this car (black color) that has less than a 100k miles on it. A number of years ago I rebuilt the engine to a TR-4 spec. with new sleeves and pistons. After that rebuild it was driven very little. It is black and has been stored for years and recently covered with a tarp. I took the SU's off to rebuild and have them to be completed and put back on the car. I am sure the matched tires are rotten and need replacement. There is some body work required and new upholstery of course, plus paint. In other words a great car to start with, but should have a ground up rebuild at this point. I would appreciate it if you would put the word out to anyone looking for a new project and opportunity to rebuild this car and bring it back to it's deserved glory. It was a car with great power and fun to drive around the Bay Area years ago. There are many stories attached to that car. The original owner lived up by Lake Shasta. Regards, Roger A.
