DavidBee Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Quote I struggle to find anything good to say about this car. There’s hardly a straight panel on it. It has all the hallmarks of longtime outdoor storage. This Triumph hasn’t triumphed for a long, long time. Its song is a symphony of surface rust, dirt, and dust. They say you should buy the best car you can find, and they’re right. But for most buyers, this isn’t it.

Richard Green 54 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Looks reasonably intact and not messed with. I have seen worse. More pictures on the eBay listing. Current bid $5,100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone looked at the TR3B link the author provides? Apart from a prang on the driver's side front chassis member, looks very nice or am I missing something? https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/triumph/tr3/2247960.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very revealing comment, Stuart! I guess the chassis damage could be much worse than it looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
