I've owned a TR-3B since the mid-90s and drove it occasionally, up until 4 or 5 years ago. At that time, I took it to a local British car shop to see about having the battery tray replaced and was told the frame was shot. Not too surprising, as it was a northeast car originally, but certainly disappointing. The car has been sitting in my garage since then, while I've contemplated doing a full restoration, and I now realize I don't have the time, money or know how. The car is mostly complete and appears largely unmodified. It does have a non-functioning electric fuel pump and doesn't currently run. The engine appears to be original, based on the BMIHT certificate, but I don't know if it was previously rebuilt. I've also accumulated various parts, primarily from TRF, along the way, such as a clutch, exhaust system, brake lines, etc. My question is what's the best way to try to sell this car ? I know about eBay, but are there more specialized sites ? I believe there's some value in it, even though it requires a full restoration. I have enough emotional attachment to the car to hope it could go to someone with the wherewithal to restore it, as it seems a shame to lose one of these after 50 years.
