My dad's turned 85, and decided it's time to sell his TR3A. We kids decided to take it out for a drive. Really nice original car! We're making a web page for him at www.falconworks.net/TR3 for info before it goes to auction, if interested in knowing more.

Such a car! I had a Chevrolet Nomad for 40+ years but the lines on these cars are just mesmerizing. Art on the move indeed. I gave up my Nomad because my kids had grown up, my wife had died and I just wasn’t driving it any more. Giving up a family classic only happens in the end of life of a family, it’s never easy but I can understand it. Now, at 71, I am looking for an antique sports or very small car to enjoy in my declining years. These sure look like the ticket

I owned and drove a TR 3 for 4 years. Black with black interior. No hard top with regular wheels. Lucas fog lamps and a CB radio ! lol

I knew it had to be from somewhere like Arizona as soon as the garage door opened having read that it was unrestored. I had two TR2s, a TR3 and a TR3A in the late 1960's/early 70's. The first three all went to the junkyard due to rust. Only the TR3A was still in good enough condition to be sold on when I was finished with it. This was in England though, where the climate is very damp and they rusted really badly. At the time, my friend and I both in our teens/early twenties kept buying the old TRs because they were the cheapest 100MPH sports cars available to us.

I also once used to cruise around Tucson in an old Triumph. I miss them both.

My first car was a 58 TR-3 (in 1967.) People kept stealing my original Triumph shift knobs, and Dad made a few trips to the junkyard for replacements for me. I finally gave up and drove it with no knob at all.

Looked and sounded like it was in very good condition. You should have kept it in the family.

No overdrive. Lousy for highway driving...

@@NakedUndone Some owners have added electric overdrive and it works like having a fifth gear. As far as highway driving, I have a 2001 Miata, bought new (5 speed) and yeah, high rpms on the highway, but I don't mind. I have been cross country in it twice and still love it. Hope to have it till I die.

Modifications have nothing to do with being unrestored. Restoration is taking an old worn out, often rusted out car and restoring it to like new. One modification I saw was the wind wings, in a restoration they would take those off and sell them or throw them in the trash, since a good restoration tries to make a car as much like it did when it left the factory as possible, no aftermarket add ons.

I like the look of old cars, but once I see driving videos like this, I lose interest in owning one. (another one, any more)
