Here are a few notes on my few short years of my TR3 ownership. Chose between
an Austin Healey 3000(rusty) and a 1958 TR3. Bought the TR3 in the late 60's.
Midnight auto wreckers removed a rear lens because it was parked outside.
Car smelt of gas all the time. Removed gas tank and found it leaked. Garage where I worked at I had the mechanic "fix" the leak. He did not fill it with water when welding
and blew it up. Rocker panels were rusting badly. Snowplough took out a chunk of the rear fender. Not having the $$$ to fix it in my early years I let it go. It was a fun car to drive, great exhaust note. Pathetic heater for Calgary/Winnipeg winters. Definitely a car for a fixit owner and a southern climate.
