I had a '57 TR3 going to college, and other than a damned gas tank seep that I
never COULD find, and keeping the SU carbs balanced, it was one of the more
reliable vehicles that I owned.

Of course, there is an alternator conversion for the Lucas (Prince of Darkness)
generator, and while it isn't exactly "stock", it does a lot for the reliability
of the machine. The wire loom that goes under the carpet by the copilot's feet
is also very interesting when it finally frays shorted on a lonely road in
Kansas between St. Louis and San Diego {;-)
