I'm almost 4 years older than my 59 TR3A. Closest I've come is a 56 TR3,
which I sold due to it's advanced stage of rust/missing parts. Talked my
Dad into buying our first TR3A (which he still has) when I was 18.
Hmm, I never thought about getting a 55. I suppose there's a certain
poetry in that, but I really dislike front drum brakes (another reason I
sold the 56) <g>
