1147cc Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Im working on a RHD 1957 small mouth TR3 for a customer who bought the car in the UK near Ipswich while he was stationed with the USAF at Bentwaters. The old reg was ULM70. I believe it was red in the 1980s; he said he saw the car and went inside to see who owned it and ask if they would sell the car and the owner said his wife was about the have a baby so he did need to sell it. The car has a factory replacement TR4 engine (3B maybe). it had an overdrive that the owner gave with the car that Ive tested and it seems to work. the 4 spd in it now is an early one but I cant figure out why they removed the OD. He has an old invoice from 1968 from Mann Eqerton; Botwoods, Ipswich. "Rectify faulty OD and carry out MOT" Name on the invoice seems to be Mr E Pyle or C Pyle. Would be cool to find the previous owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
