My '57 Small Mouth TR3
Commission Number 17547 L

I purchased her on  June 5, 2006 ...Check out the:
Arrival Day   pictures.

The only repair she needed before driving was a new exhaust system.

She ran great. I enjoyed driving her throughout the summer of '06, adding about 2000 miles.

Steel Hardtop Pictures  I'm not sure if it came factory with her.

Pictures with windscreen removed. I must get some goggles. That would be fun - driving her like that.

Fixing the leaky Petrol Valve

Here's where I decided to have the radiator cored. That's really all I wanted to do...then get her back on the road asap.

Front apron off  for radiator removal

Well...might as well do a little here and there...while she was up for the winter...

Rebuilt carbs - A must, for sure

Engine Removal - I decided to strip and paint the under bonnet area

Engine Cleaning and Painting

Gearbox Removal - While I was at it...why not?
