Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this wonderful example of one
of the most popular classic open-air British roadsters, this 1961
Triumph TR3A. This hails from the great State of California where
it resided until 2009 when acquired by its third owner and
transported the car to Michigan. The car was the recipient of a
ground up style restoration where it received new paint and a new
interior in 2008. The frame and underside was left untouched and
remains excellent original speaking volumes on the structural
integrity of this TR3. Highlights include: Dayton Knock Off Wire
Wheels with each wheel containing 60 polished stainless steel
spokes, new Robbins soft top, new side curtains, new "top stick"
boot, heater, hand crank, original Jaeger gauges (all working),
Bakelite banjo style steering wheel, original chrome and trim etc.
Recent services include: Hydraulic systems rebuild including new
flexible brake lines, rebuilt front calipers, master cylinder and
slave cylinder rebuilt, bushings replaced, hoses and fuel lines
replaced and most recently, a major tune up and valve adjustment.
Since acquisition in 2009, the car has been looked after regularly
by a British car specialist in Clarkston, MI and as a result,
mechanically, the car is excellent in all areas. It starts up with
no issues, pulls strong in all gears, shifts correctly and
smoothly, clutch has great feel and no chatter, and the brakes stop
quickly and straight. The car is powered by its perky 1991 cc 4
Cylinder engine fed by its dual SU carbs, 4 speed manual
transmission and rear wheel drive. The car has been regular
participant in the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Battle of the
Brits where it was always well received.
The Triumph TR3 is a staple in every automotive diet and its
classic bug eye style headlights and low slung doors capture the
essence of British Styling of the era. These cars are globally
sought after not only for its style, but also as a spirited driver
the delivers excitement. The car offered here has always been
enthusiast owned and it shows. The car comes complete with shop
manual, vehicle literature, receipts, side curtains, crank tool, a
smattering of parts, and all of its original id tags.
