Hello everyone,
Some of you might recall, back in June, I put the question out about how
much our TR3-A might be worth, because we are planning to sell it. With all
your feedback, we are getting some good ideas, thanks to your emails. The
difference now is that, as some of you suggested, I put pictures on the web.
Please let me know if you have further suggestions about the value of this
particular car. You can find the pictures at
www.philippeames.com/tr3/
below is the description of the car.
Many thanks in advance,
Sincerely
Philippe
1959 TRIUMPH TR3-A
SHOWS 25959 MILES
TS NUMBER : TS45464L
TRANSMISSION : MANUAL
ENGINE : 4 CYLINDERS
EXTERIOR : ISLAND GREEN
INTERIOR : TAN LETHER with BLACK PIPING
DESCRIPTION
general :
This 44 year old car drives out well with no major problems. The mileage
shows 25960.
It's never been restored, so you see what you are getting. Motor has had a
compete overhaul this year to bring in to a good driving condition. My
father is possibly the second owner. He bought it in 1977. General
appearance is good. Besides a couple small dents and a scratch, it's a
pretty straight example.
exterior :
It has an attractive "Island green" (grayed yellow-green) exterior. Rust
bubbles on the hood and the paint cracked on a few spots. The chrome needs a
polish but is in good condition. The car has a good looking black soft top
(not original) with side curtains (original), a chrome luggage rack and
tonneau cover.
interior :
The leather dash panel, side walls and back wall are in good condition, but
the seats are old and cracked. The leather color is tan with black piping.
The carpets have been recently replaced. All gages, switches and lights
work. The horn slowly died at the 4th of July parade, and will be replaced.
mechanics :
The engine compartment is not detailed but in good presentable condition,
the brake fluid canister and surrounding is rusted. Battery and case not
original. The brakes have just been fixed. We have the original hand crank
and jack.
This is a nice driving car for possible restoration.
