Interestingly, Andrew Uprichard just put me in touch with probably this guy.
Marv Gruber in Florence, AL, he has a TR graveyard and has been re-building
TRs for 40 years.

Subject: [TR] TR Graveyard in Alabama

In the late 1970s a friend who was rebuilding a TR3A in Tuscaloosa, AL took
me with him to a farm in north Alabama where a fellow had several dozen
TR3s/TR4s strewn about his hilly property. He allowed us to wonder about and
pull off any parts we needed. Most of these cars had been damaged in
accidents or fires. I have no idea anymore where exactly this was. However
he did advertise in Hemmings in the 70s and maybe into the 80s. I have often
wondered what happened to all those cars.
