Pretty Primrose 3A in highly original order throughout with a substantial history file.
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, 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.
Fitted with a 1,991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lb/ft 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. Finished in Primrose Yellow with blue leather, this TR presents in highly original order throughout, retaining its character and factory specification, and forming part of a private collection in recent years.
Showing just under 44,000 miles from new, supported by an extensive history file and detailed record of ownership, the car has been carefully maintained by a private mechanic, reflecting attentive custodianship over the decades. Supplied with a substantial history file, including invoices, period documentation and ownership records, this well preserved TR3A represents an appealing opportunity to acquire an original example with modest mileage and established provenance.
