Lebro Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Translation of the German description: Very nice TR3 in the early \ "small mouth \" execution. A true classic. Original left-hand drive since Canada export version. Pure summer vehicle with good hood. The side sockets are still the first and no longer useful. Racing Green / black interior. With original overdrive manual transmission. The car was expertly restored many years ago by the predispositioner and kept up to date. Here, a more precise rack and pinion steering and an electric fan were mounted. that is model typical. He left the car for reasons of age. No damage to your condition. The front bumper is missing and costs about 600 €. Condition 3, (Classic Data Specification) so ready to use with signs of use / patina and solid underbody / substance, honest car with obvious signs of wear. Current location is still Victoria, BC Canada! The car can also be visited there and test driven. For the import to Germany still transport, import turnover tax and H-expert opinion are added. My longtime friend in Canada is German and absolutely integer. More photos via e-mail / hyperlink possible. This is a private sale, I am not interested in any other business! I speak english, international shipping possible. Bob. Edited June 9, 2018 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rem18 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 So Gentlemen. As you have seen It is an interesting car. Add the cost to ship over and put back some missing parts plus restoration work. What do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Ask Edwin Tiben. He imported his TR2 from Can to The Netherlands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
classic225 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sending from BC to Europe shouldn't be that bad, goes on the ship in Vancouver. Most expensive is the road transport to the port, not the shipping. BC has a wet ( European) climate, so cars do rust. 13000 should buy a nice car, if I see the prices that guys overseas are willing to pay..... Don't know where Some people get the idea that everything US/Canadian is surely going to be an incomplete piece of junk. Sure that some US and Canadian owners can tell you different. There should be some members on this forum that can check out a car for someone overseas, I can surely do that for anything located in Southern Alberta. Yves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yves. Thanks for your observations and help. Yes I think if there is somoeone in the area I would go for an evaluation. My wife does still seem keen. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Is there anybody in the right area of Canada with Tr3 experience willing to take a look for against some disturbance money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Larnder Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi REM18 We are off to B.C: Canada in September to see my son and his family. As we land in the town of Kelowna we can nip along to Drakes Canadian Motors as he is a big dealer in TR´s, and exports them all the time. He transports them to Vancouver on his own flat bed lorry and has a deal going with the import/export agent there who handles all his shipping. His cost for moving the cars to Vancouver is very reasonable. in fact I saw him loading up a 3000 A/H when I was there last time. Snow in B.C. is very dry unlike U.K. and the Continent so rust is not a problem there. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Larnder Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 REM 18 There is always Yves in Alberta and Lord Flashart (Paul) in Salmon Arm in B.C. and he knows Drakes Canadian Motors as well. I must have missed it, but did you say where the car is? Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Isn't this the moment to step back and rethink what's happening at the moment? You're looking for a TR3 It needs to be used for the family, about 200 days/year in normal commuting traffic You've searche high and low for a car in Europe and haven't found one. I don't know how many cars you've seen IRL There's one for sale on the other side of the world Only thing you've seen are pics, taken with a certain purpose: selling it for the highest possible price You've no intention/possibility to check it yourself You let others advise you on the car and implicit on point two of this list... Apart from the purchase price, you need to pay shipment and perhaps VAT when the car arrives in Europe (NED = 6%; Dutch taxes = no import duty, dunno how other countries are. Then, the tinkering begins: brakes, hoses, steering - just to be sure that these are fine. In short: I would step back and go back to the drawing table. Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Yes Menno in fact that is what we are doing. We did have someone local to examine but.. The Overseas 3 is not so pretty now we looked carefully and there are better here for now. So for now its back to the drawing board. You have to forgive me you know how it is we are looking for a good car at a low price. Dream on! But we are not in a rush. T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

irrational Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) To my knowledge there are currently 2 early '3s and a late '2 for sale here in South Africa that do not need work. None are perfectly restored but they seem solid. Especially the '2' seems immediately usable. I almost bought '2 myself, but didn't want a modified car at that price so bought a survivor instead. They are at dealers so you can probably be a little finicky about any defects. Frost brothers I know export the cars regularly I can't check them myself. Currently the Rand is not doing well so they could be fairly cheap in the 20000 to 25000 gbp range. http://frostbrothers.co.za/portfolio/1957-triumph-tr3-with-overdrive-2/ http://frostbrothers.co.za/portfolio/1955-triumph-tr2-with-overdrive/ http://www.route101ccc.co.za/classics-for-sale/1958-triumph-tr3-for-sale/ Dirk Edited June 14, 2018 by irrational Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rem18 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thanks I am on the trail of a Tr3 small mouth that is top notch offered by someone I know well for ever so slightly more than these prices. Its Winchester Blue metallic though which is strange but it did leave factory as Winchester Blue and a plus for us here is its LHD I wonder in metallic was ever a special order? Also been offered a Red Tr3 thats completing restoration now. This thread has paid its way... But these cars you have shown are very Nice.
