'59 Triumph TR3 located in Reno, NV. Honest car with plusses and minuses. Starts, runs & stops good (at least it did when the clutch hydraulics went out last month).Engine was gone through at some point and runs well. It now has the spin on oil filter adapter but comes with the old canister hardware if you want it. No smoke to speak of, no odd sounds coming from it and strong runner.  Carbs work fine.Transmission also was rebuilt or replaced at some point too. It also works well, clutch grabs strong and no noises either. The transmission in the car is not the overdrive version & no OD parts remain other than the switch on the dash. Hydraulic cylinder quit working this Labor Day week so it has been sitting in my garage ever since. I drove it this Independence day & then put new tires on it for Labor day, but the clutch hydraulics quit so literally has 0 miles on the tires. Frame has 2 spots I found that need patches. Both on the passenger side. One under the front crossmember & the other at the rear tail section. Floors, tire well, trunk and sills could use patch repairs too before they get worse and have to be replaced. Exhaust system is not very old & is solid. It comes with serviceable tonneau cover that zips between the passenger and driver.  Also has a reproduction soft top that fits well, has clear back window but does have one small hole. There's not much rain where I live/work so I've never tested them.  Do expect the other old British car woes to sort out or live with like I did. Not all the electrics & gauges work but enough to drive so I never cared too much & I never drove in the rain or dark. Reach out with questions, to examine it in person or to face time for a running demo. 57 zero 5731 zero 23 leave a message.  USA buyers only.  Payment is due in full before pickup. Only USA bank issued personal checks, wires or money orders or cash.  No out of country, buyers banks, etc.  Once payment clears I'll sign off the title & overnight it back to you or hold it with the car if you wish.  10/13/2021 - Yes, it does come with the side curtains that fit in the doors to make it "watertight"  Yes, all the door and windshield glass is in good shape, no cracks no dings.
