Equipment
BF Goodrich Silvertown tires, banjo steering wheel, locking glove box.
Condition
Very good paint, chrome and interior. A TR3A, distinguished from the original TR3 by a wider grille, exterior door handles and lockable boot. Represented as the 1961 showroom floor export car in London, and has since been body-off restored. A fine example of one of the quintissential British sports cars.
Market commentary
The Houston bidders astutely picked up this beautiful TR3A just under retail. While there might be some room to flip it and make a little profit the margin is small. It's a car better driven and enjoyed both for its excellent condition and the good value of its acquisition.
