> Forty-Three (43) years later, still married to my First wife,
we purchased a "new" 1957 TR-3A...white, no racing stripes. Fully
restored, very driveable, ah the waves of nostalgia almost overcome
us...nope that was leaking oil smell :-) I have joined the list
recently, and read a few of the horror stories, I must admit our DPO
must be a Distinguished Previous Owner, the little TR-3A is
immaculate and there have been no surprises, other than the fact that
it did NOT have power steering...what was I thinking :-). We are
enjoying driving around our Gold Country back roads, and are planning
to take it to Fresno in September for the show.

Welcome to the list. As an owner of a 57 TR3 (not A) I can sympothize with
the rush one gets driving these things. And the looks from passers by are
priceless.
Enjoy your bit of nostalgia. They were quite a car in their day. Still
are.
