Very Charming Example having the same owner for 40 years. Was stored in a heated garage on dollies for the last 15 years with the gas tank dry and oil squirted into carbs
After I received the car. I Had my Mechanic go through Car and give me all the Good and the Bad
Good

• Car was started after putting fresh gas in Tank and after unplogging a gas line that was a little gunked up. Car runs smooth with no smoke. I have a Video of car running and can send to you---- Only 75k miles on engine
• Had engine running for several minutes / there appears to be no leaks
• All gauges and lights work / Dash look Great
• All parts on Car are Original --- including steering wheel
• Soft Top and Frame are in great shape
• All gears shift as they should
• Interior is in good shape with no rips
• All chrome is in good condition
• Floors and Frame are Solid
• Exhaust appears to be newer / 2 mufflers

Bad

• Appears a restoration was performed on car years back. there are areas where metal was repaired and rivoted in place---- in trunk by wheel wells,.floor boards,
• Paint is shiny but cracking in areas
• Rear passenger tire has a slow leak
• Clutch is a little soft / master cylinder may need to be replaced
• brakes work fine

So were on the same page lets consider this TR3 to be a good candidate for a restore. Even though it runs and drives / all mechanicals should be checked out to make it a driver. The Cracking Paint could be repaired or Drive it as is
