As restoration of my '59 TR3A (TS52910L, engine# TS53112E) proceeds I am interested in piecing together the owner and driving history of the car. The right "bookend" documentation starts with the gentleman who sold me the car in 1991 and I'll work my way backwards. The left bookend starts with my British Motor Heritage certificate which indicates delivery from the factory in the summer of '59 to Cal Sales, San Francisco, the well known distributor of TRs in California and west of the Mississippi. So the car started out in California and ended up in Baltimore where I bought it. The process would likely involve a lot of interaction with various state departments of motor vehicle (archived records) in cases where I cannot first trace the former owners directly.
To anyone's knowledge, are there surviving Cal Sales records and/or possibly from the TSOA, the former factory sponsored owner's club to help establish at least the first owner?
Yes, I know there will probably be a lot of blank spaces..., but anything helps.

Walter
