First car was a 1974 Midget, sold in ‘76. Next British was in 1992, a basket case 1957 MGA. Never finished, finally sold on eBay to the Angie’s List guy.

Currently working with newfound enthusiasm on a 1959 TR3, a true barn find. Returned from school to work in my hometown in 1984, made friends with Mike. He took me to an outbuilding to show me, proudly, his running-but-needs-work TR3. Sadly he died in the spring of 1985. Fast forward to 2018 when i ran into his daughter in a restaurant. We started talking and she said “I’m going to sell Dad’s Triumph.” I couldn’t believe she still had it, 33 years later. I went to see it. It was still in a building, with 1985 plates. Bought it.

On the forum currently because wiper motor is driving me crazy and trying to get horns to work.

Welcome to BCF! I assume your forum name is because you now have “Mikes” TR3? So what do we call you?

Welcome to the forum.

You will find the Triumph section is very active so you are sure to get plenty of help there for your TR3 project.

Post a few photos of your TR3.
