RE: TR2,3,& 4 Info needed

["Musson, Carl" <musson@arts.usf.edu>]

First TR3A purchased at age 16; 4 year old 1959 for $793.50 - (funny how
you remember some things.)

1) One of the last true 2-seat roadsters (=sports car).  Unique and
unusual styling.  Gutsy feel to the drive on any winding road;
regardless of speed.  Cruises on the highway with the big boys.  (O/D
preferred but not mandatory)

1b) The engine/drive train/mechanicals are sturdy and can withstand a
lot.  Just considerate (not considerable) maintenance will do.

2) The weather leaks (but not a major problem if you drive it top down
and in good weather - my preference of course); 

3) As others have said watch out for the rust.  Floorboards; rockers;
lower edges of the wings (front & rear); bottom rear of inner wings
below where hood/wing/cowl meet; rear corners of the trunk & spare tire
area below;
