A couple of new front tyres and she'll be ready for the road. Found this old tractor in Burley, the New Forest.

Like the air cooled engine

It'll be in a TR next month!

Alternatively, buy the tractor and drop in a 2.5PI.

Found this whilst delivering in devon.

I'd take the TR3a and looks like possibly a TR6 stacked behind the Stag?

[Justayellowbadge]

I've removed the location, they look a little vulnerable.

Amazed that TR is just left like that.

[Roverload]

I think so, wanted longer to poke around but I was up against it. There's some interesting looking metal behind the roller shutter too.

Fair enough, bit of a faux pas on my part. Looks like a time warp, like 25 years after the apocalypse! For all it's faults this is a good perk of being a courier, you get to see some hidden gems. Pulled onto one driveway the other week and was presented with 3 immaculate TVR's, wedge, Tuscan and chimera. Perfect.

Those cars are well known about and have featured on many forums.

I posted some photos on this thread a couple of years ago from that place, it doesn't look any different now. There's a Maserati Merak among others inside, including a few more TRs.

Anyone fancy a summer project? Posted on GG.

I went past there about 5 years ago and we stopped and spoke to the chap in there, reckons he'll get them all fixed one day!

[Roverload]

He has quite a task ahead of him, the tr3 looks like it was rear ended then left to rot, all the floor pan and chassis legs through the boot looked like they were pretty much gone, just seen one on ebay in mint condition for £45k! Still could be worth doing.

One summer evening, batting westbound along the M4, a TR3 joined the motorway at Reading. It looked the absolute bks; very tidy, with an aero screen. He was really going, so I speeded up from 80 to keep up with him. After a spell at 100 I backed off and let him go. Did my soul good to see it. And his even more I suspect.

A favourite photo of mine..

So yeah, obviously a bit of a DIY enthusiast. Perhaps started on the car and then the house took over, I'm sure they'll both be in fine fettle soon enough:



The photo is a few years old (2008), and sadly a DVLA check is not working on the BMW suggesting it's been scrapped. However, I did check it's liability a couple of years ago and it had been off the road since 1997! Nevermind the Mini ahead of it..

I don't know the history behind these, but thought I would share them anyway

[Sardonicus]

Thats sad ^
