Hi Ray,

I can understand!! I do wonder about the name however: Nothing very feminine about a TR 3 (truck like steering; tractor engine; reverse engagement like pulling Excaliber from the stone!) but I loved all of mine. The head mechanic at the major BMC garage around here back in the 60s, said the chassis of TR 3s (and 2s) were "wasp like" in that they had almost nothing in the middle!! MGs were much better handlers, but I was intoxicated by the torque of the tractor pull!! Of course I was much younger in those days.........

Don't forget your two wheeled friends :-)
