Earlier in the month I received a lovely email from Chris.

“I have just seen your blog posts regarding the red TR3A you gave away in 2021…. well, after you guys took her to the Silverstone auctions at the NEC, she ended up in Aberdeen, where the buyer never ended up using the car. Step in us, who purchased it last August in memory of my father who passed away earlier that year. It’s truly fantastic, and I have more pics of her recent adventures in the highlands.”

Chris bought the car in August 2023, he has spent his time so far renewing some cosmetic fittings.

“A new rear light lens and chrome, LED lighting, chrome lamp surrounds, a new windscreen, period registration plates, new battery and fittings, Ethanol proof rubber fuel lines, and even some new hub caps and enamelled badges for “Tilly’s” 65th birthday in December. A learning curve for sure!”

Thank you so much for sharing your story Chris and it’s wonderful to see the car being enjoyed. Keep sending through pictures of your adventures, we’d love to see them!
