That TR3 looks like it's trying to tell you something.

 

"Listen ol' chum, Coventry wasn't the worst place ta be built, plenty o' cars were built in Bavaria that 'aven't 'eld up as well as I 'ave."

I thought of it as the British automotive version of the sorting hat from Harry Potter.

Sorting car: "Hmmm, tall, but not too tall. Likes to play near the front. Questionable self-preservation gene...LOTUS!"

Somebody is going to restore that Healey. Do not give them my number.

The TR-3 is overpriced.

Any money for any of that is overpriced.

The Healey will be saved and the early B is worth saving. The BGT's are worth saving even if it were a running beater.

Ken Miles was a side talker - I guess that is the same as the TR3.  Mumbling too.

There are so many low priced B's in the market.  Why bother with that title less car?

That TR3 would make a fantastic wall hanger.  In fact it would make two of them.  Automotive art brings huge $$$  and a $450 purchase could easily turn into several thousand dollars in sales.  If I was closer I would buy it and hang a side in my garage.

I think you hit on the best use of that car.

Just too far away or I would grab the TR3 for parts I need.
Wet sleeve engine so even if it is stuck it can be rebuilt.
