Nick Webster Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hello, Are you englishmen always driving your TR's top down - even when it is snowing? -- Regards, Juha Of Course! When I was just a slip of a lad of 19 my first sportscar was an A-H "Frogeye". One winter day I was driving in the falling snow - top up, heater on - when what should come the other way but a powder blue TR3A, driven by a man who I swear must have been 80. I know old people look older the younger you are. But the top was off and I felt so absolutely ashamed. That is a real man's car with a real man in it, I thought.

Not to much to ask. Yours looks really nice. So far have dispenced with a few for various reasons, and another two appear on the horizon, maybe this is the one, or maybe not. Time will tell.

Jersey Royal Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Guy But get the right one and it will be worth the wait! Good luck and happy hunting! Cheers Andrew Hi Andrew, Yes am sure you are right! I am not very patient at all when i get a bee in my bonnet Bull at a gate, but thats another story. Am being drawn by more modern machinery, Tvr, Lotus, Caterham. But in Tr style i will try to hold on for a while yet. Could make an "interesting " article for Tr Action at the conclusion of this thread Cheers Guy Edited February 4, 2009 by Jersey Royal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianC Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 It beats me why you need a sports-car of any sort on Jersey (unless you have access to private roads ). If you must add to your stable, rather than a(nother) high-performance car, why not go the Bergerac route with a Triumph Roadster? (Still keeping an eye open for TR3s for you, but you are right that the potential supply seems to have dried up since the start of 2009). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
