     Hey,  Marty. One of our consignees, a retired attorney, is going to
     auction a very early TR3A, commission number TS24762L. It has title
     and  all  provenance books and papers, but is completely apart. The
     engine was professionally rebuilt, but the car is missing it's gear
     box  (I know where there is a fine Triumph gear box near Las Vegas,
     and  the  friend of mine that owns it would sell it to a good home.
     It will bolt right on).

     Anyway,  this  may  well  be  a  bargain for someone looking to put
     together a TR3. This attorney is a "spare no expenses" kind of guy,
     but  has  just  lost  interest in the Triumph project car. May make
     someone  a  nice  project.  Finish  it  correctly, and you've got a
     $25,000 plus machine!

     Thanks,  if  you  can  spread the word. I will be available by cell
     phone  at  808-342-1036, and I can assist a long distance bidder by
     phone,  as  well  as  assist  with  shipping arrangements. I have a
     feeling  this  car  will  sell  for  the value of the engine alone!
     Aloha, and Mahalo. Robert
