You are looking at a really special TR3! This car has provided hours of fun cruising along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The engine turns over smoothly and then just purrs, as it should after a complete overhaul. The body colors are gorgeous as shown in the pictures. Restoration work was performed in Louisiana, then the final tuning done in Denver by Sportscar Craftsmen. I have pictures of the car during restoration and stacks of receipts for work and parts. If you’d like to facetime, I’ll be happy to take you on a real-time tour of the car; or if you would like more pictures, just email me. I have owned this car since 1990. The restoration of this car was done over 8 years, so some is brand new, and some is older. Of course, rust and body imperfections were corrected. New wiring harness and engine overhaul. Transmission and shifting are smooth. I just took this car out of winter storage and found no oil spots on the pad underneath it. Hard to believe it’s a Triumph! Please note that the British Racing Green paint does have some small bubbling on the trunk. If you would like me to have the trunk lid repainted before shipping, I can make arrangements. The side curtains are usable, but not restored. The suspension has not had major work. Brakes and parking brake are firm. The tonneau top (Camel Color) is brand new as is the matching trim. It was too nice a day to have it up when the pictures were taken.

I have driven the car since he passed away a year ago. I know the engine was taken out and completely gone over.
