Car is running

[nealm]

I finally got the 1960 TR3A running this weekend. First time it has started since it went off the road two owners ago in 1968. I've got the Heritage interior. The quality looks nice. They did a cream colored beading to go with the red leather seat covers to better match my Old English White paint. I'm a little conerned about the fit. The rear panels seem too tight. I'll post some pictures once I get it installed. Here's a picture:

Beautiful....I did a heritage carpet in my MGA 2 years ago...ended up having to retrim every single peice in order to get it to fit to my satisfaction. But in the end it turned out great. Don't rush, allow lots of time to fiddle with each peice to get it right.

Very, very nice. I always loved TR3's, but then I love all Triumphs, some just more than others.

Very Nice, clean look. Is that an "off white" like Wimbleton white or is that a stock Triumph white?

It looks like the same White that my first wore.

Very Nice. You must feel very proud when you drive it.

Wheels are aluminum American Racing Wheels. I had them restored at Nuchrome. There was a fair amount of corrosion so they had to bake the moisture out. Several of the nokofs need patching before begin rechromed. They polished the rims then powdercoated the rest. Still a little rough but I like the look. The painting was done by a small shop in Maine. Color is called Old English White. I believe it may be an MG color.
