Hi List!
In TRIUMPH Digest V1#632, there was an ad about a TR3 in boxes for sale
along with a URl address [which kept 'freezing-up' my computor when I
tried viewing it]; therefore, if this did happen to others who might be
interested in purchasing it, Then I wiil be willing to see about going
to the source & checking it out for you. [being that I live in this
general area. It's about the only way that I can repay other fellow TR
List Member, for all the other times of help that I've received.

Hi--
I would like to tell you of the TR3 I have for sale. Unfortunately, the
person
who had agreed to purchase the car is no longer able to complete the
transaction.
I also have had my situation change, and I need to sell the car
immediately
(by
the end of July if possible). If I am able, I'd like to sell it to a
Triumph
person. If that doesn't occur, it will go on EBay and I will sell it
there.
This is a unique opportunity. The car is a 1959, and has approximately
60,000
original miles. It is from California, and has no rust (as you can see
from
the
photos). The car is in incredible condition, showing an expected amount
of
wear
from 60,000 miles of use, and deterioration of the rubber bits from
being in
storage for the majority of its life.
The car is completely disassembled at this stage, with the body sitting
on the
frame (but not attached). Everything except the body, frame, engine and
rear
axle has been stored in a dry basement for the last 15 years. The rest
of the
car has been garaged.
While the car requires a total restoration, it would be an easy one. The
body
is very solid. It requires stripping and a respray. The left front
fender has
a
dent (which could easily be removed). Most mechanicals are sound (the
engine
does need a rebuild) but we did drive the car from California to Buffalo
about
1985. As I mentioned, the car will need to have all the rubber pieces
replaced
(due to ozone age deterioration).
This would be a wonderful project, especially for someone familiar with
Triumphs. There are no surprises here--the car is as it appears in the
pictures.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Again, I'd
very
much like to sell the car immediately. Unfortunately, I cannot ship or
transport the car. The buyer will need to travel to Buffalo with a truck
and
take responsibility for the transportation.
A large number of pictures are available at:

I would prefer the car gets restored, so I'd like to have someone
purchase the
car with that intention (it would be a tragedy to part this car out).
Again,
I'm looking for a satisfactory offer, but I realize that is difficult to
do
without seeing the car.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to forward
this
message to anyone you think may be interested.
