Equipment
1191/100hp, 4-speed, wire wheels, wing mirrors, wind wings.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Aged brightwork and badges, and the screws on the mirrors show light rust. Dirty wheels. Cracks in the wind wings. Presentable old repaint, although parts of the steering wheel and column are incorrectly painted body color. Erratic panel fit. It's a driver.
Market commentary
Despite all the ups and downs in the collector car market over the past several years, prices for attainable British sports cars of the 1950s-70s have been sleepy but stable. This TR3 is a perfect example. Price guide values for it have barely budget over the past five years, and it sold at this very same auction in 2018 for a nearly identical $20,900 final price.
