I have a Triumph 3A that has been in the family for over 35 years. It was
driven until it was about four years old, then stored in warm dry garages in
California ever since. I'm planning to move the car to Massachusetts this
spring and start restoring/fixing it.
I have a philosophical question for the group. This car is unusually
unaltered from its state as it came from the factory. What approach should
I take? Should I (a) try to preserve as much as possible of the original
parts and paint, (b) restore it to the condition it was in when it left the
factory, or (c) use the car as a base and add nifty modern parts to make it
a fun, racy, driveable car?
