Hi to all, new to your site. My wife & I are the custodians of a lovely 1960 TR3A that had been her parents. We take it out in the summer as we can and usually get at least one long trip in it. The old girl loves to get out and stretch legs on the Michigan backroads.
Attached(I hope) is from the winter of 2016/17 at the Gilmore Car Museum.

Hello Tim

That is a great looking TR3A. They are a joy to drive.

You will find the Triumph section is very active so you are sure to get plenty of tips and advice there for your TR3A.
Does it normally live at the Gilmore Car Museum?

David, no the car doesn't normally live at the Gilmore, although it does visit every July for the Mad Dogs & Englishmen car faire. The museum asked my mother-in-law for it for a special exhibit on sports cars through history the winter of 2016/17. It was a great honor to her to have the car there, and you couldn't ask for better winter storage. This TR is a true family heirloom and was a big part of my in-laws love story. My mother-in-law handed it over to us that spring when I picked up from the Gilmore for her after 30 some years of adventures for her, we've pick up where she finished and hope to do the same for one of our kids 30 years from now.
