This beautifully-restored classic British sports car is offered by the restorer hmself. It is an as-new, show-quality TR-3 with an eye-catching, rare color combination of dove grey with deep red interior. The steering is sharp and responsive, and the engine runs smoothly and with remarkable power. The overdrive transmission has been fully rebuilt with synchro in first gear and runs as if it's brand-new. The car has most options available, including the very rare cigar tray and even more rare removable hard top. Add in the fog and driving lamps, matching rear seat, defroster/heater and other accessories, and you will understand the appeal this unique vehicle possesses. Engine restoration features include: Lightened flywheel (17 Lbs. from Joe Alexander) and lightened tappets 86-mm pistons Spin-on oil filter Electric fan (thermostatically controlled) and manual override New competition radiator Bumblebee competition spark plug wires New fuel pump and fuel lines New 6-vane water pump Rebuilt carburettors from Joe Curto Rebuilt transmission with O/D from Triumph Rescue New U-joints Moss motors performance exhaust header Rebuilt distributor by Advanced Distributor All new hoses and clamps LeMans-style valve cover fasteners Complete tune up w/ all fluids replaced Brakes: Complete rebuild (Front and rear) Rebuilt calipers by Apple Hydraulics New brake and clutch master cylinder and wheel cylinders Hand brake cables re-set and calibrated Electrical: New wiring harness and connectors Rebuilt gauges by Nisonger Rebuilt horns Rebuilt heater New driving & fog lamps New headlights and directionals Rebuilt trafficator, wires and replaced stator tube New rear lights Custom overhead dome light in hard top Interior: Complete new Moss interior throughout (dark red w/ white piping) New red carpet with pad Complete rear seat and seat back Reupholstered dashboard with cockpit cappings New glove box All new locks and keys New dashboard knobs Tires and wheels: New 165/SR15 radials mounted on cleaned and repainted wheels Original hubcaps Suspension: Rebuilt front end completely New ball joints and tube shock absorbers All suspension parts stripped, cleaned and painted New polyurethane bushings throughout New rear shock absorbers Body: Started with a dry Arizona car All panels removed, stripped, primed and color-code painted (both sides) Frame steam-cleaned, primed and painted (No rust or accident damage) Perfect door gaps, boot & bonnet Re-chromed windshield stanchions and all rubber seals replaced New side curtains Restored hard top with clamps, seals, head liner and installed dome light Complete matching carpet set in boot Replaced original front apron with earlier "small-mouth" design include grilles w/new chrome surround New chrome bumpers front & rear All original body panels were used, except for the front apron The final result is an as-new, show-quality 1960 TR-3 with a beautiful and rare color combination. She rides tight, the engine runs strong with a beautiful exhaust note. Sitting behind the wheel, looking at the new dash with the hard top overhead is an experience in itself.
