Help me ID this Triumph(?) chassis and cowl

I brought an electric winch, a come-along, a Hi-Lift Jack and ropes, but I just ended pushing it up the ramps by hand. Thirty three minutes from start to finish, working alone.

Very cool!

I like that the exhaust looks pristine.

It's a brand new Walker exhaust. Wheels and tires are also new.

The frame is in astonishingly good condition. Nothing but a little surface rust, and no signs of it having ever been restored.

The frame and cowl are from different cars, but both were 1959's.

Storytime??

I couldn't figure out exactly how to take the cowl without damaging it, so I decided that I should just put it back where it belongs.

This part was admittedly kinda sketchy, but I wasn't going very far...

i count 4 clamps.  1 or 2 would have been sketchy.  3 or more is totally legit.

There’s not much to the story. I was driving home from mountain biking. I’ve been down this road hundreds of times, but I guess I haven’t been there in a couple of months. I spotted some beautiful wire wheels, and then the cowl, sticking up out of the weeds near some construction equipment. At first I thought it was an MGTD (preferred), but soon realized it was a Triumph. I went down to the house and knocked, no answer and so I left my card. The next day he called. He has a bunch of vintage cars at another location. This had been inside a trailer for a few years, but he needed the trailer for a construction project, so he rolled it out where I found it.

Super nice guy. The property is currently for sale ($3.1 million), so he agreed that it would be a good idea to get the car out of there. We made a deal.

So, other than be neat, whats the plan? Im hoping for some hacked up special type of what if vintage race car for the street. 

You know,  an LS will fit between the frame rails...

Just sayin'

In reply to Woody (or others):

I could use the wheels, tires, bolt-on hubs.  I have terrible steel wheels.

I also need the driver door top trim, stainless trim beading between fenders etc., trunk latch, windshield glass, bumpers, water pipe from engine to radiator, and seat tracks.

In reply to Apis Mellifera :

Are you sure you don't want a nice cowl, with pedals, a steering column and a rust free battery box?

I think I want to keep the frame, wheels and hubs. I don't have any of the other stuff that you mentioned.

In reply to Woody :

I could use that clutch pedal (I assume it's the same as a TR4) if you don't need or want it.  The previous owner cut the pedal off of my car: he was swapping in an autotragic.

Anyone need a pair of Webers and manifold for a TR?

In reply to Indy "Nub" Guy :

Make me an offer on the complete pedal assembly. 

In reply to Woody :

I'll send you a PM....

I don't remember the TR4 pedal assembly being the same as on a TR3.

I'm excited to see where this heads

Me too!

I’m not sure if I’m surprised or not that this tool exists, but I’m glad that it does and it arrived in the mail today. These wheels are too pretty to mess up with a mallet. 

But is it any surprise at all that a tool for old British cars is made of wood?

Woody said:

OOOh, pretty.

A guy named Woody has a wooden tool. Thanks, I'll show myself out.
