Dispatched on February 29, 1960, according to a copy of a Connecticut title in May of 1970 the car belonged to Nicholas Solimere, Jr. The car eventually made its way south to Texas where it was restored by Duke Voeikel in McKinney, Texas in 2012—a photo album documents the work completed. In 2015 and '16 the car won first place for a late TR3A at the Vintage Triumph Register Meet. The current owner acquired the car from Santa Anna, California in 2017.
Carefully maintained since purchase, a few small drivability modifications have been made including an electronic distributor, spin on oil conversion, and a change to negative grounding. A first place winner at the 2015 and '16 Vintage Triumph Register Meet (VTR Nationals) for late TR3As, the car is complete with photos of some of the restoration work completed, its British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate, and a service manual. It is the quintessential example of handsome British roadster—all that is missing is a bit of tweed and a new owner to wear it while driving the car!
