Beschreibung
1958 Triumph TR3A, imported from Iowa, USA. Until 1987, this car was registered in Arizona, before moving to the midwest. It was kept in dry storage since and was last driven in the early 1990's.
The chassis frame is solid, with the exception of a small perforation hole in the right hand front main beam. The body tub appears to be all solid, with minimal rust damage on the lower part of the front fenders. The front nose section needs some work, as it was damaged in the past. Together with the front fenders and some other sections of the body, it was sanded down to bare metal, revealing nothing but light surface rust.
This Triumph TR3A appears to be largely complete, missing the bumpers and a few minor trim parts. The anti-roll bar was probably installed some 35 years ago, together with an effort of some work in the engine bay. It does not fit the car and was probably not much more that a failed attempt to add some safety. 00111 mls on the odometre, indicating an experience of at least 100. 000 mls.
The engine turns freely by hand. Engine and gearbox numbers do not match up with the commission and body numbers. Body numbers are currently not attached to the bulkhead. Included is a US only STC plate, apparently installed by dealers in some states as an addition to the commission number on older overstock. According to the VIN plate, this car was originally delivered with an overdrive gearbox, but currently has a standard 4 speed mounted.
US title (Illinois) and EU import document (duties paid).
Visits and inspections by appointment at Dandy Classics in Sint Anthonis, the Netherlands.
