I had a '60 TR3 in 1972. I lied to people and told them it was a '59 so it would sound as old as it looked. Mine had a replacement plywood floor and paint that looked like Amish barn painters did it, but it was my first Brit car. There was no globe medallion on the hood and the rear bumpers were missing.
