I went from a 1967 Cadilac convertible to one of these Triumph TR-3s just like this one. Manual overdrive in any gear; even reverse. Love me a convertible...
My dad used up a TR3 back when they were newish driving back and forth between Pittsfield MA and Albany NY in all kinds of weather along with autocrossing, rallying, ice racing, etc etc. But it was so bad, when I was thinking of getting a Brit some years ago he said I better not bring home a TR3.
He's got a pretty good fleet: In addition to the plastic Cobra he's got a 62 Vette and a yellow Miata. I guess he's still shopping for a winter car, right now he has nothing with a real roof (the Cobra doesn't even have a soft top).
