The car was a running, driving car when he got it, and extremely solid with no rust in the sills, floors, spare tire well, or even the rear box sections of the lower valence which are always gone. The car had plenty of scrapes and scratches and dings and also had an accident on the rear of the left front fender and on the front of the left door. This minor accident, which did no internal or frame damage rather just sheet metal, was extremely poorly repaired many years ago. This gentleman had intended to do a full restoration on the car since it was so solid, and started off by having the engine rebuilt which truly has zero miles on it since rebuild. This is the only thing he did during his ownership of the car. Due to loss of storage space, he was forced to sell the car before any further restoration was completed and that was when we purchased it. We decided to do the following:Clean the gas tankReplace fuel linesDis-assemble and clean and freshen carbsTest and clean radiatorReplaced both clutch and brake master cylindersHoned bushings in pedal assemblies and paintedRebuilt front calipers with new padsReplaced front brake hosesReplaced rear brake hoseReplaced both rear wheel cylindersInstalled brand new topInstalled new carpet setInstalled new batteryGot it running and tunedInstalled another windshield glass and new rubber in windshield frame After completing the above, the car now starts on its own with excellent oil pressure, no noises, and no smoking. The car runs extraordinarily well. It now drives up and down the road under its own power with good brakes and clutch hydraulics, and most items operating. This is a car for restoration or fun with a lot already done to it. There are many systems on this car that are still almost 60 years old, so we do not want to misrepresent the car, as there are still things to be done such as suspension rebuild, old tires, and certainly I would assume a body and paint overhaul. As a triumph restoration shop we restore many TR3s, and we are very much aware of how they literally disintegrate with rust. This car impressed me from how solid it is, to how incredibly nice the front apron is. It also has very nice correct leather seats, loop carpets, and a proper nice fitting top. Even the chrome on the windshield frame is very nice. You won’t find a cheaper TR3 that truly is an easy restoration candidate as this one. The mileage showing on the car (18,431, NA) is not actual and true mileage is unknown. Priced with a starting bid of $100 with NO RESERVE! Now is your chance to tell me what you think it is worth. This car is running and driving and stopping, but will need further tweaking to get to an everyday driver status, and is sold as is, without warranty whatsoever. On Jul-24-17 at 21:46:22 PDT, seller added the following information: The description on the bottom of my listing is a copy and past of the original listing when I purchased the car a few months ago. I believe it is for the most part accurate but for more details and pictures don't hesitate to call me. I want to make sure the buyer is happy with the car. I had planned on using this as a daily driver and believe it would be easy to make it into one. I am selling it and my Austin Healey because it turns out I will not be able to build a garage on my property. So with no great way of storing them they need to go. On Jul-28-17 at 08:14:28 PDT, seller added the following information: After talking to several people about the car I have done a though check through the previous seller’s description that is posted above and find it necessary to post the following clarifications to make sure the car is properly represented. I am seeing sediment in the fuel filter and the gas has gone bad so the tank will need to be emptied and likely cleaned.The car has almost no rust on it. The floors are the only place with anything that looks significant. I will include pictures.It looks like the bulkhead was damaged during the described accident.The carpet is cut pile.The windshield frame chrome is good but the frame has some dings. Included is a very nice frame.Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. On Jul-29-17 at 15:54:02 PDT, seller added the following information: If you are an international buyer you will be responsible for any and all taxes and fees needed to get this vehicle to you and into your ownership including title requirements. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks,Javier801-636-9058
