1959 Triumph TR3A

Winning bid
€22,000

Highlights

  • Comprehensively restored a few years ago, stripped to bare chassis
  • In current ownership for three years
  • Previous owner retained the car for more than ten years following restoration
  • Recently re-trimmed with new upholstery and carpets

The Appeal

The Triumph TR3 is a quintessentially British sports car that epitomises the golden age of open-top motoring. With its purposeful styling, characterful four-cylinder engine, and engaging driving dynamics, the TR3 remains a favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate raw, unfiltered driving pleasure.
This 1959 example is worthy of consideration having undergone a comprehensive restoration a few years ago, during which it was stripped to bare chassis. Having been cherished by its previous owner for more than a decade following the restoration, and now in current ownership for three years, this TR3 appears to have been well maintained throughout its recent history.
