I'm new and posting for the 1st time here. I have 3 TR3A's in various states of repair (translate that as rust... not running) and just thinking about serious restoration. Where to start and what to do myself are the current questions. Yes I drove two of these cars (the third is only parts), and owned the first since I was, well for 30 yrs. I'm OLD but the car still seems young to me!!! Anyway ..HELLO out there and I'll try to get acquainted with as many as I can.

I used Moss alot back when I was restoring a 1954 XK120. I found there selection and quality very good, but a bit pricy. I have also used Victoria British for my Spitfire, which I still have. Again, the quality is usually very good, but a bit pricy, although they do have sales often. Another place to look for reasonable prices is British Parts NorthWest in Oregon.
