Fully restored to a show standard, this 'matching numbers' example of Triumph's ever-popular TR3A is a total delight. Imported from the States within the last few years and now UK-registered. Subject to a thorough ground up restoration to a Concours standard. It was decided to leave the car in left-hand drive with European Rallies in mind. The Gloss Black paintwork retains a deep shine and the shut-lines and panel gaps are factory standard (possibly a bit better) The interior is spectacular with Cherry Red leather piped in White and deep red carpets. Dashboards often let a restoration down but this is one of the best we have seen. Immaculate engine bay - showroom quality.
Brand new hood, tonneau and weather equipment. The odometer indicates 62 miles which, we imagine, is since the restoration. Looking close to standard on its steel wheels and accompanied by its Standard Certificate, this matching numbers 3A presents superbly and would be a joy to own. Long famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957.
It was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3 with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full tool kit. Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. (The first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.
Further details of this little TR's restoration to follow shortly.
