I've owned a TR-3B since the mid-90s and drove it occasionally, up until 4 or
5 years ago. At that time, I took it to a local British car shop to see about
having the battery tray replaced and was told the frame was shot. Not too
surprising, as it was a northeast car originally, but certainly disappointing.
The car has been sitting in my garage since then, while I've contemplated
doing a full restoration, and I now realize I don't have the time, money or
know how.
The car is mostly complete and appears largely unmodified. It does have a
non-functioning electric fuel pump and doesn't currently run. The engine
appears to be original, based on the BMIHT certificate, but I don't know if it
was previously rebuilt. I've also accumulated various parts, primarily from
TRF, along the way, such as a clutch, exhaust system, brake lines, etc.
My question is what's the best way to try to sell this car ? I know about
eBay, but are there more specialized sites ? I believe there's some value in
it, even though it requires a full restoration. I have enough emotional
attachment to the car to hope it could go to someone with the wherewithal to
restore it, as it seems a shame to lose one of these after 50 years.
Thanks for any advice or ideas,
Scott
