For Sale: 1963 Triumph TR3B in St Louis, Missouri

The 1963 Triumph TR3B featured here is finished in the stunning color combination of Black over Red interior with a matching Black folding convertible top. Per the accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate this example was completed at Coventry, England works on October 29th, 1962. Notable is that the car's selling dealer is recorded as Genser-Forman, Inc. of New Jersey; one of the earliest Triumph car dealers in the Northeast United States. Exactly when and how the car made its way to the Show-Me State is not documented, however a Missouri State Safety Inspection sticker on the windshield is stamped October 1997. Per the son of the late previous owner, his father cherished the TR3B for decades. A testament to the car's years of curated ownership in the form of a dash plaque from the September 1988 St. Louis regional All British Car Show can be observed from inside the cabin.

When acquired by IT'S ALIVE! in 2022, the TR3B presented a high degree of originality, but was not running. After addressing the fuel and ignition systems the TR3B roared to life for the first time in years. Additionally, under our care the interior carpet and trunk carpets were replaced with a full red cut pile kit. Today the vehicle's odometer displays just under 36,600 miles; a number that is believed to represent the total mileage accrued from new. Further evidence of the car's originality is found by examining the visible body and engine numbers, with both serial unit numbers matching those recorded on the Heritage Certificate. Curiously the car's original convertible top (hood) color is recorded as being white and not black as presented currently. A handful of period options and accessories adorn the car today, including a chrome luggage rack, dual AMCO wind wings, a translucent left hand sun visor and whitewall tires. While the car does not come with the optional Brooklands-style aero windscreens, the four support mounts are present atop the dash today. With matching numbers and reputedly low mileage, this TR3B represents as an outstanding driver's quality example of this legendary British marque. IT'S ALIVE! is proud to have preserved this iconic sports car for future generations.
