I must admit my first TR3 a 59 came into being because I was tired of always
fixing my 57 MGA. Mostly the hydraulics. They had that Lockheed dual cyl.
setup like the TR2.
Also must have replaced the water pump at least 3 times and I could never
figure out why the batteries (2) were behind the driver and passenger!
I had a test drive in a 59 TR3 on a used car lot and I couldn't believe the
difference in power and the way it accelerated out of 2nd gear.
I was sold before I got back to the dealer.
I sold the MGA to my brother, who drove it into the ground, and the bought the
3 which started a love affair with Triumphs that continues to this day.
