I am selling this TR3 from my personal collection of classic cars to make room for other new cars I have recently added to my collection. This is a numbers matching 1959 Triumph that was titled 1960 when it was imported into the united states. I bought the car 10 years ago or so and around 3 years ago I finally got around to restoring it. I gutted the car and stripped the paint to bare metal. made sure the frame as solid, and that the engine trans etc were in good shape. Everything looked good.... Before repainting the car, I had the engine and carb gone through with a new tune up and new wire harness, new battery etc. All of the lights guages wipers etc are working. I had a new clutch put in, brake cylinder and clutch cylinder put in. The clutch and brakes work the way they should. I had the car repainted its original color black. Looks really good. There there is some minor stuff from me driving it on weekends but nothing overly notceable etc. The car really looks great. Watch the video and check out the pics and see what the car is. I put in a brand new interior. Door panels, carpets and new top. Everything fits the way it should. I have the side curtains that go with the car although I never used them. They look good. The boot comes with the car and looks good. I bought 5 brand new tires when I did the restoration that are on the wire factory wire wheels. The spare tire cover opens and locks. Watch the video as it shows you how to open and shut the hood with the included triumph tool.I drove this car mostly as a weekend driver around 30 miles at a time to my house from my indoor showroom in town at my dealership Teddys auto sales (look me up on the web) you can see the car in my showroom and in the background of alot of my pics. It drives very nice and fun, only thing I noticed was at 40 mph there was a very minor vibration that went away at 42 mph. (my mechanic said tie rods may be getting loose/old) never bothered me enough to address as it was very minor. just want to be honest and tell you everything I see with the car. Overall this is a car that always gets smiles and waves and pictures from whoever saw me driving it etc. You will be very happy with it. The classic 59 plate goes with the sale. Really cool. I do not want to overcall it or undercall it, watch the video, see the pics, and call me with questions. I highly encourage you to have it inspected through ebay or come yourself to see it in my showroom as every one has their own opinion on what a classic should be, that way there are no misunderstandings etc. This is a car that will be very missed in my collection. I require a non refundable 200 dollar paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction end, if I do not get the deposit within the time frame or before you come for the car, I will assume you are a dreamer or a scammer and not serious about buying it. I can help recommend shippers i have used in the past who have been very reasonable. If you have any questions at all, call me 563-562-0330 or 563-562-0330! thanks
