INTRODUCTION BY CHARLES—Continued
This catalogue is a rewrite of a longer catalogue written by John
Swauger last year, and his research has been invaluable in writing this
version. In the end, I may have been further ahead to post John's work
which went to more than three-hundred pages, but I have attempted to
make a shorter catalogue which still lists virtually everything in fewer
pages to be more economically feasible for printing as a paper catalogue.
In the end, I am very thankful for John's work, and I dedicate this
catalogue to him in recognition of his thirty-five years of work at The
Roadster Factory.
The Roadster Factory has achieved considerable success in selling
parts for other Triumph models which I also love, but I have never lost
my passion for the TR2 and TR3 models on which my company was
founded, and even more than my TRS LeMans Racing Cars, I value my
1960 TR3A that I found in 1971 and restored over the next six years. No
one was rebuilding TR3s from the bare frame then, but I learned about
every nut and bolt on the car since every component was disassembled,
rebuilt, and replaced. The result was a tiny bit amateurish by today's
standard, but it was as nice as any other restored Triumph of the time. It
has been completely rebuilt again in the mean time, and it still has all of
its original body panels with the exception of the outer sills which were
gone by the time I found it.
