I bought my TR3A brand new in May 1958. In 1972 it was a basket case with
80,350 miles on it. I stored it in the far corner of my garage while we
raised a family. From 1987 to 1990, I restored it. 2 of the best decisions
I ever made. The other best reason was Louise.
78,000 miles later, "TRusty" still looks this good.
