Subject: [TR] Barn find!!! or is this a Garage Find???

We just picked up TS525XXL  (sorry - just seems like a bad idea to broadcast
the full serial number of a car)

Anyone have a car near that?  Seems to be mid 59 production.  

It was bought used back in 1971, driven by everyone in the family until
about 25 years ago or so; then it had a fire in the engine compartment.
Been inside a garage ever since.

It belonged to a friend of a friend.  My son is picking it up in the
southeast and bringing it home to Texas later this coming week.

First big question - it has a factory hardtop, no rear glass.
Recommendations on where to get that?  I see TRF and Macy's have it, at the
same price.

Also needs a front bumper.  Anyone have a core they want to sell?

Can't wait to dive into it!!!

Congratulations on your find!
I found and bought TS516xxL in October, about ten minutes away.  It was acqu=
ired by the previous owner at least 15 years ago in this same condition.  I g=
ot it's TR4A engine running after a quickie tuneup a couple days later.  It s=
ounds great.  Who knows when it last ran.  It came with a truck load of new a=
nd used parts too.  Also, a floorjack and a set of stands.
My restored race car is TS462xxL and I also have TS21xxLO '54 TR2.  TS462xxL=
 was built on March 19, 1959. =20
It looks like we have something to do in the New Year.=20
Best wishes for good one TR listers,

Yes, mid-59 is about right.  Mine is TS47905L (an April 15 build date)
which is closer than it sounds as the next day they jumped to TS50001 to
have a clean start for some significant changes going in.

I see no reason to keep the commission numbers (or plates) concealed but
maybe I am naive (or maybe I have just accepted that privacy went the way
of the buggy whip).

Looks like it might have been a tow vehicle part of its time?

You sound enthusiastic about this one - that is the place to start from as
you're sure to have an adventure ahead of you.

Did I miss something? Have I been shopping at the wrong place for TR parts?

Do you not shop at Macy's & TRF?

Macy's Garage is a small seller with just a few specialty parts; generally
things that he needed for his shop and couldn't find elsewhere.

TRF though, is a major vendor.  I personally like dealing with them much
better than Moss or VB (and considered Charles to be a personal friend).
One of the odd things about them, though, is that they don't publish a
full-line catalog for TR2-TR4.  You have to look up your parts in the
factory spare parts catalogue, then order by factory part number from TRF.

It's actually a nice system once you get used to it, but fairly unusual in
the USA, at least in the automotive world.  (I've been ordering antique farm
tractor parts by factory part number as well.)
