Vehicle Description
Signal Red on Black! Recently restored with upgraded 2138cc motor
and 4-speed synchromesh manual transmission from an early�TR4!!
Hardtop and side curtains! When the Triumph TR3 debuted in 1955,
Triumph intended not only to update the previous TR2 but also bring
the driving experience and styling into the second half of the
1950s! The car debuted with the TR2's 1991 Inline 4 cylinder motor
that made 95 horsepower, plenty for a car that weighed just over
2,000 pounds. In 1957, the "TR3A" was launched, further improving
the car and incorporating wider front grille and front disc brakes,
the first production car to feature them as standard equipment!
TR3A production was around 58,000, of which less than 10,000 are
documented to survive today! We are very excited to offer this 1960
Triumph TR3A! It is finished in a fresh coat of Signal Red over
black vinyl upholstery with white piping on the seats. The car is
powered by a later 2138cc Inline 4 from a TR4 offering 105 factory
rated horsepower, a healthy upgrade from the original 1,991cc I4.
Transferring the power is a 4-speed manual transmission! The car is
further fitted with several nice touches including a matching
hardtop with British Union Jack decal, side curtains, wind wings,
bumper guards and chrome rock shield mounted on the lower rear
fenders. The car comes equipped with painted wire wheels with
Vredestein Sprint Classic 65 HR 15 tires. This TR3 was completely
gone through by its previous Indiana owner. The paint and chrome
were completed as well as all vinyl or plastic pieces in the cabin.
The car runs and drives exceptionally well thanks to a recently
rebuilt motor and transmission. The car shifts through all gears
without grinding and the shifter feels crisp. The car makes for a
very drivable and presentable example of one of Britain's most
popular roadsters and should make the next owner extraordinarily
proud both at local shows and on short road trips! We would welcome
any additional questions on this TR3A; please don't hesitate to
call! Thanks for looking!
