Triumph TR3 Will Keep You Young 

I agree, his last sentence says it all. There are always faster cars, or ones that are worth more than what you have. But if you're lucky enough to have something you love and enjoy, it doesn't get any better. When you have a taken a car apart on your own, and put it back together, only YOU know that car, no one else will ever know it like that. And you end up being the only one who can ever appreciate it like that. Excellent video, once again, Petrolicious!

Superb. Just superb. Take a bow Petrolicious. Another brilliant homage to a vintage car and its owner.

what a soft spoken man. And that statement at the end, wow Mr. Hughes you said it all my friend. On another note, this channel should be up for awards man, incredible.

The last sentence this gent said is best motoring sentence ever... :) great video guys

I think this is the best Petrolicious video made.

What I really love about these videos is that is not just the car. It's that bond created with people, those emotions that we only can understand. That magnificent 3 and a half minutes piece made me feel just how happy that lucky guy is when he's driving that beautiful Triumph. Keep it up.

wonderful that he is a happy guy. very glad he reclaimed what he had in his youth.

Lovely car and lovely guy. Just bought a 1958 tr3a, and lucky to own some modern exotics too. The tr3a will never be sold. It has so much character

I am so glad I found this channel. Subscribed and LOVE it. I can finally show people what I mean when I say I'm a "car guy." I swear, every car on the list, I've dreamed about in one way or another.

A man that embodies true contentment!

Breath taking! Im officially a petrolicious fan!

Thanks for sharing your car Mr. Hughes.

I am in the process of finally assembling my classic Fiat 500 after a long restoration and I can't wait to experience the drive,smell and feel. Is it crazy that at times I just go sit in front of it in my Garage staring and then just can't help but smile?

Wow! Powerful messege at the end.

My Dad also had a 1958 TR3. He regretted letting it go.

Very nice. I bought a '62 British Racing Green TR3A back in 1975 and drove it throughout British Columbia and Alberta before heading east to Nova Scotia in the middle of winter (which was quite an adventure). That car was such a sweet ride. My brother at that time had a '59 Tartan Red MGA (these days he drives a mint 1950 British Racing Green MGTD) and we have so many great memories of kicking around the maritime provinces in those two "babies". I truly enjoyed your video and can certainly understand your contentment. Take good care & Cheers! :-)

Recently bought a 1957 tr3, 100% I wanted a 550 my entire light, but the TR3 is a wonderful sports car.

possibly one of the best car/story channels on youtube. along with some amazing typography and cinematography. i love petrolicious... big inspiration.

your videos really touch my petrolicious heart.

I’ve watched this a few times. Great journey. I feel as blessed to have experienced.

can't stop watching these. amazingly well produced and the stories captured are heartfelt and true. keep up the great work!

Classic petrolicious. Simple stories, simple video. Love it

These videos are fantastic, just discovered them. They make the car shows on TV look like tripe. It's not just about the cars, but the people who build and own them.

these videos are just so beautiful. life changing stuff

What an awesome video. Good point, is not about being the fastest, it’s about having fun and enjoying life! Nicely done Petrolicious team, nicely done!

G'day Dick, Great video, but even more important is how much you are enjoying your amazing TR. Suspect it runs better than factory spec. Was lucky enough to own a TR6 for 15 years and there is something very special about these little TR's and then there are the friendly people who share that space. Enjoy. May you always keep the oily side down.

I adore these videos the emotional bond between man and machine in truly great

Great video!! Like always! Keep it up fellas!

Wise words towards the end of the film sir

Wow loved his last sentence

That sports car culture that Dick Hughes misses so much is still alive here in the UK though it is more classic car culture. Certainly there are the waves and acknowledgements from other drivers. It is something special.

These videos are art.

Awesome!

oh my gosh those engine shots

You´re a true gentleman driver, Sir.

This channel is amazing.... I hope I can be cool as these dudes I been watching :)

Great video!!!!!!

beautiful video; great monologue of wise Man, pleasure to hear and watch. RD

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Love all of these car in petrolicious.. wish i will have collection like those

This video is beautiful. To have an old car is something unique very few people understand. Most of the guys have cars as mere transportation from A place to B place... but some of us feel and enjoy driving the car wherever we may go. It's an experience on itself... let's take a ride! In Argentina we have a very uncommon sense of family between old car owners. We know how much you have to work to keep old cars running, sometimes the mockery for being young and have a "weird" car or the lack of spare parts in this side of the world. We waive when we come across other owners, sometimes we stop and say Hi. We are comrades and, whatever your country is, we understand the feelings involved in driving these cars :)

Oh yes magnificent video. Amazing story about the sports car culture. My father tells the same anecdotes. It was a true camaradry.

What beautiful car

What a gentle man.

as long as your having fun it doesnt matter the cost of the car... well done series

You said it all. I bought a porsche at retirement age and some days wish I had bought another TR3 of my youth.

What a pleasant chap. :-)

NIce short film.

What a lovely car n a lovely man😊 I wish i could be on his team of old school racers! 😁

"...I dont know if I'd be that much happier than what I've already got."

Wise words.

great guy , great name

so true:)

This is a wise man. The last words say it all

The DVD he played, was that not footage from the Willow Springs race featured in your other video - 'Alfa Track Day Therapy'? Also, the paint finish on his TR3A was truly beautiful, a fantastic little car. I echo the words of others here, truly inspirational videos.

I would say he knows every nut and bolt on his car.

❤

You like me had earlier tr3 s. I also like you , i am now looking for one. Mine was British green. My brother smashed it up in cape cod

If anyone has life figured out, it's this guy.

The last few lines couldn't have been any more moving... 5 stars

very true, most people buy cars for the name and not the body or engineering.

Are these highway legal?

☺

philosophy in the last sentence. does spending more money bring greater happiness? Does material possession bring happiness?

No, you wouldnt be happier. It's not about having a flashy car that costs 100,000. It's about having the car you love,

I love this video. In the 70's I had a '69 TR6. Now in retirement, I bought a 2020 Miata. No, no, not British by any stretch of the imagination. However, the Miata in current form is a fantastic sports car that is dead reliable. That's something you cannot honestly say about the 50's-70's Brit cars. Much of that had to do with the horrid Lucas electronics throughout their cars. Just horrid stuff, really. Sad...

Sounds like he as a tinge of an English accent.

lmfao XD

There was a sport car culture ...... 'cos they were all unreliable , to a lesser or greater extent . You had to wave a people , 'cos you never knew when you would require their help to jump or bump start yours ........ or theirs .
