Offered with pre- and post-restoration photographs, collection of club magazines, original owner’s manual, old MOT’s back to 1991 at 98,346 and a large collection of invoices and job sheets.

Contemporary road tests achieved 0-60mph acceleration times of some 11.5 seconds and a mean top speed of a whisker under 110mph.įinished in Red with Black upholstery and a Black hood, this very smart TR3A has been in the current family ownership since c.1975 and is believed to have covered 99,200 miles from new. It continued in production until 1962, by which time 58,236 are said to have been built. It was instantly recognisable by its wider front grille, exterior door handles and lockable boot handle. The final iteration, the TR3A, appeared in 1957. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drum to disc units. With it came minor styling revisions, a slight hike in power and the options of an occasional rear seat and bolt-on steel hard top. The TR3 of 1955 was a direct evolution of the TR2. The TR3 had some improvements over its predecessor.
It is restored to a high standard and has beautiful red paint with a matching hard top. Its two-seater body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis, while suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and live axle hung on leaf springs at the rear. The Triumph TR3 is a British sports cars that was produced from 1955 to 1962. This is a car I restored that has been my personal car for quite a while. Trials revealed poor handling, however, and the design was not progressed and the new, much improved TR2 was launched the following year.
