I bought my TR3A brand new in May 1958.  In 1972 it was a basket case with
80,350 miles on it.  I stored it in the far corner of my garage while we
raised a family.  From 1987 to 1990, I restored it.  2 of the best decisions
I ever made.  The other best reason was Louise.

78,000 miles later, "TRusty" still looks this good.

one right after you toss the old one out (and it will be in worse shape!)

just too dear in terms of personal sacrifice (read time involved) to just
unceremoniously dump on the slag heap. There's always a use for the worst
part in the shop, even if its only to mock up that new killer app!
