Triumph TR3s and Dinosaurs

 Vintage Triumph TR3 makes its way along a winding road lined with palms past giant prehistoric beasts.

The beautiful classic Triumph TR3 was produced from 1955 to 1962 in Coventry, England by the Triumph Motor Company. The TR3 came outfitted with an inline four cylinder engine mated to a four speed manual transmission. Output was around 100 horsepower.

Approximately 58,000 of these cars were made and examples can still be found on the streets and race tracks today. 

Originally selling for $1200 USD a TR3 can be had for $6000 or so for a restorable car to $30,000 or more for a car in very nice shape.

The image by George Cosmos Wagner is available as a limited edition 24x16 canvas gallery wrap. Each print is signed by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Open edition prints are also available.

1969 Austin Healey Sprite


 The 1969 Austin Healey Sprite- I had the pleasure of owning a '69 Sprite although mine had been repainted "safety orange". Fun little car even though we push started it more times than I can count and parts acquisition was difficult at best. There was an MG dealer about 30 miles from my home and they were very helpful- at one point they pulled parts of a car on the lot when I was in a jam. We also made some brackets and machined a new banjo bolt for a front caliper ourselves. Impossible to get that bolt!

Today we can ride along with this proud owner as he takes us on a short demo cruise.
