LRA Auto Museum & Sales Presents this 1961 Triumph TR3! The design
of this is pure European style. The full-width grill is a clear
indicator of the TR3A, and those headlights are beautifully crafted
into the body. The long flowing fenders and low-cut doors carry a
more dramatic line than even the Jaguar XK120 roadster. It all ends
in a rear design that has a hint of a tailfin to appeal to the
all-important USA export market. It's amazing that this much style
could be contained in such a compact body. In fact, the size and
weight of the TR3 has made it a perpetual darling in road course
racing, and features like the removable windscreen and genuine
knock-off wire wheels only heighten that feeling. But the freshly
restored slick black paint really gives the roadster a more
sophisticated attitude. In fact, you get to select your level of
refinement with a choice between a tight tan folding soft top and a
color-match black hard top. Of course, no top is out true
preference when it's time to strap a picnic basket to the luggage
rack and take this one on a long Sunday-funday trip. Because this
is a vehicle that's meant to be open to the world, we love the way
the Oxblood red leather interior looks against the black paint. But
more than just the right color, you can tell there has been a solid
investment in making sure that the bucket seats, dash, door panels,
carpeting, and everything else gives off the impression of quality
from moment you sit down. This car is built for the pure driving
experience. One of the reasons why the TR3 is a sought-after
roadster from the early 60s is under the hood. The 1991cc motor was
one of the larger displacements for the class outpacing other icons
like the MGA. What makes it even more special is that this original
motor was rebuilt a few years ago, and so the engine bay looks
fantastic today. The bright head cover attracts plenty of attention
within the color-matched black fender walls, and those twin SU
carbs are something we all look for at the car shows. The motor's
nice condition also means you know this is the one you want for an
easy jaunt down the open road. The exhaust note is hypnotic as you
discover the fun and control that the four-speed manual gearbox
provides. Plus, the front disc brakes are a welcomed feature for
added control in this sprightly roadster. And from the
undercarriage photos, you can really tell the level of care and
investment that went into the fundamentals of this Triumph. Non
