Ya gotta do it! If you don't, someone else will. I think it has your name on it.

Nice find! Close the vent and turn on the heat it may be a little warmer.

An open "scuttle vent" on a 41 degree day builds character!!! hahaha
One thing that's pretty neat are the wheels...TR 250's modified to fit the TR-3 hubcaps...and it has 195 tires which are bigger than I thought would ever fit!

well your knees will be warmer at least

I like the wheels too - different but not gaudy and definately "meaner" looking.
Go for it

The tires and wheels are neat. I would like to know what it's like to operate a right hand drive car in the U.S.A.? Do any improper turns and find yourself in the wrong lane? Now that's cause for excitement!
It's a real nice find hope you get it.

Well, first off, that's the first RHD I drove in years (the last was a Japanese Celica twin-turbo V-8 "grey market" import in the 80's).
I was in the Wisconsin boondocks and that helped...I did hit the right shoulder a few times in my ten mile test drive!
I turned around in a local Mennonite farmers driveway...much to the surprise and delight of a couple of Mennonite girls washing the family buggy next to the barn.
They yelled and waved as I pulled up, backed out and pulled away in 1st...giving it a little more fuel than usual to try to impress 'em (I'll never change!)....
We'll see how I do on the purchase..I've got a imminent career change coming (I hope) and that will be the deciding factor...

First off, I'd buy it.
My Rover is right hand drive as was my Vanguard, you will get tons (tonnes) of looks.
The only weirdness will be u turns, but you get used to them. Gutterballing is a piece of cake.
I would love to see the engine compartment. The Vanguard has the same engine as the TR3 and it made for some close quarters with the intake/exhaust manifolds and the steering column.
I thought about converting my TR to RHD but my mechanic wouldn't go for it.
