Looking back, I think the TR3 was the best sports car buy of all time. For $2,599.00, you got a genuine 100 mph car that got 30 mpg on regular gas, was reliable and could be fixed by anyone with a set of tools. The fact that so many of them are still on the road despite indifferent build quality, crude steering and suspension, leaky tops and lack of rustproofing is testimonial to their value.
