There’s never a bad time to jump on board with British motoring, even if the first step may be substantial. In a world where ’70s Plymouths sell for just south of $2 million, and auctioneers politely inquire what harm could come of another ten thousand dollars, this 1959 Triumph TR3 makes more sense now than ever before. In all fairness, the seller honestly listed this car as a project:

Here is a TR3, Red with Black interior. For $5,450

If you choose to take on on this Herculean restoration, conjure the words of Winston Churchill himself while moving inexorably towards completion of your sporting machine. “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many long months of toil and struggle.”
