Ashley James Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Is it on Flickr or one of the others Graham? If it is you only have to post the image address in the box provided if you're using a computer. If you're using a tablet, it's more difficult because the forum doesn't display correctly, so then you must write img in square brackets before the address and /img in square brackets after it and it should appear.

foster461 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well done with the resto and getting the photo posted Graham. Car looks very nice. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Harris Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks Stan,i chose that photo because it shows a bit of our Aussi bush up in the hills above Perth. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Very nice 3A! The white with red trim is a fine and classy look. Must be a blast on the long Aussie highways. Are Roos a big issue? Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Harris Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Dan, i havn't taken her on any long highway runs yet, the Roos are usually only a problem at night so with a bit of luck i won't come in contact with any Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley James Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's a good photo and a lovely car! I'll bet your very happy with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billg Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 That is a really lovely 3A. I do like the colour and trim combination plus the chrome wires really set it off. I see you have the wider USA style headlamp rims which I have just fitted to my ex Texas z 1959 TR3A. Bill G @ North Berwick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Harris Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes it came with the wide headlight rings, as you can see it was a USA car in it's previous life but quite sad when i got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Harris Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks Ash, yes i am happy with the way it finished up. I must say i have been watching this forum for the past 3 and a half years while i did the rebuild and i picked up a huge amount of verry usefull information. Being able to learn from outher members experiences is a great help. The Triumph Club of Western Australia held there annual All Triumph and Standard Day on Sunday and i entered the 3 which was awarded First place in the Concours and also the Peoples Choice,i was stoked;; Regards Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billg Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi Niall, The car was imported into Essex but sold to someone in NI and he registered it there in 1989 and the TR3A was given an age related 1960 NI number and it went on the NI DVLC then. The guy only used it for a few years, but then moved to East Lothian, when it then became laid up. Surprisingly once I had rebuilt it I managed to retain the age related NI Antrim plate. According to "Where's it from, when was it issued" , the DZ plates with DZ as the suffix were issued from 1960 and later numbers probably used for imported cars. I once had a very early 1300 cc 356 ( 1954!, should have kept it!) and it had an HSS no which was used for imports coming into Leith port ( SS being the old East Lothian sequence. Only number plate anoraks have these no plate books!! Regards BillG @ NB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
