Description

The Triumph TR3 is a sports car produced between 1955 and 1962 by Standard-Triumph in England. The facelifted variant, popularly but unofficially known as the TR3A, entered production in 1957 and the final version, unofficially the TR3B, was produced in 1962.

Although the car was generally supplied as an open two-seater, an occasional rear seat and a bolt-on steel hardtop were available as options.

The car was powered by a 1991cc OHV inline-four engine initially producing 95bhp, an increase of 5bhp over the TR2 thanks to the larger SU-H6 carburettors fitted. This was later increased to 100bhp at 5000rpm by the addition of a high-port cylinder head and enlarged manifold. The four-speed manual gearbox could be supplemented by an electrically operated overdrive unit on the first three gears, controlled by a switch on the dashboard. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drums to discs, the TR3 becoming the first British production car to be fitted with them.

In 1957 the TR3 was updated with various changes, including a full-width radiator grille, and this improved model was commonly referred to as the Triumph 'TR3A'. However, the cars were not marked as such and the 'TR3A' name was not used officially. The 'TR3A' was built between 1957 and 1962.

Improvements included a new wide front grille, exterior door handles, a locking boot handle and a comprehensive tool kit as standard (optional on the TR3).

This model is equipped with an overdrive, and has benefited from a total restoration. It is in very good condition and has its side windows and a tonneau cover. Its original Powder blue color gives it a certain elegance!
