TRIUMPH TR3

1959 Triumph TR3A Manual Overdrive in Red with Black leather interior and black hood, tonneau and side screens.
The Triumph TR3 was built between 1955 and 1957 and was powered by a 1991cc engine which initially produced 95bhp increasing to 100bhp at 5000rpm.The four speed manual transmission could be supplemented by an overdrive unit on the top three ratios electrically operated and controlled by a switch on the dash. In 1956, the front brakes changed from drum to disc becoming the first British series production car to be so fitted. Because of these disc brakes, the TR3 and subsequent TR3A's became known for their superior braking ability making it an autocross favourite. In 1957, the TR3 was replaced by an updated version, the TR3A, which included new wide front grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot handle and came with a full tool kit as standard, although the TR3A's still retained the 1991cc engine.
This original UK-delivered TR3A comes with a Heritage Certificate confirming its matching numbers and the original registration number. Overdrive, wire wheels, a stainless steel exhaust, and full weather equipment. The Triumph spent many years in a large private collection in Dublin before its purchase by the previous owner four years ago. A very nice, genuine and reliable car in lovely condition. This attractive and fun to drive little TR is ready to go. The overall condition of this car is fantastic and drives just as you would expect. This is a vehicle that any enthusiast would be very proud to own and enjoy. MOT and tax exempt. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit cards accepted. Free U.K mainland delivery.
