One of the very best TRs we have ever had...and for good reason.
An absolutely rust free southern car, restored as a technical college project....excellent restored chassis, excellent body with beautiful deep red paint, rebuild modified engine with 87mm pistons/barrels, high lift cam, balanced, around 115hp, 5 speed Toyota all synchromesh transmission, rack and pinion steering (a HUGE improvement of the rather archiac, even for 1957, steering), new radiator, new wiring harness, mostly new electrics, new clutch and brake master cylinders, rebuilt brakes.....sort of goes on and on.........
Interior is fairly new, top and side curtains are new, chrome and trim are very nice, nicely detailed engine bay, wire wheels, rear seat (a nice and occasionally useful option).
And with its improved steering, more potent engine, and slick modern gearbox, this ancient TR has undergone a new lease on life. The 'updates' are invisible and in NO way affect the car's originality or collectability, but WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE in driving. Compared to a stock TR, like night and day.
This a very special early TR3, in excellent condition, and ready for many years of enjoyable driving.
