Sadly, 3TA's are not worth much and even less in such non original trim.... Now a T90....

Funnily enough the Coles make these things into amazing classic racers which clean up all and sundry but there aint much inside left from the factory..

The 3TA was a bit gutless alright,Tiger 90s could move,give a 5TA a fright.You can put Daytona cams and stuff in - it must be fairly late to have points on the exhaust cam,early ones had a dist,then single points and double lobe cam,later ones twin points and single lobe cam....or has this one been twiddled with?

Just stick to mine i think, old britt bikes look cool, but the maintiance is too much for me. My '51 only comes outa shed once or twice a year

Yup - Pretty sure 1966 was the last year for the 3TA (or model 21) and they had lost the bathtubs by then but kept the nacelle. The colour is reasonable but should be a blue / white tank and oil tanl / shocks etc should be black. Points in the timing chest is correct for 66.

Nice little bike but the harsh reality is that it costs the same amount to restore a bonnie...
