[WPTA] Tr3

[Tom Stricker]

 HughAfter a couple of years you know by now these jems require more maintaintenance than modern cars.That being said you are looking at a car several decades older than your current ride.Cost versus condition boils down to your skills and pocketbook.I just read that anything that can cast a shadow can be restored, so what you can't do, prepare to pay to have done.Rust is the big culprit. Examine inner and outer rockers. The frame is generally robust.Many "improvements" may have been done over the years. Try to get a list or understanding of what's been done.Most mechanical bits are comprable to your Spit in price and availability.After 24 years I still enjoy my "1960 driver".Happy hunting.Tom

 Hi, I’ve only been a member for a couple of years now and drive a 1980 spitfire and was looking to move into a TR3.Is there anyone who could give me some advice on what the cost versus condition might be or what I should be looking for in a TR3. I appreciate any help/ advice 
Thanks Hugh DeLaney
