Final evolution of the Triumph TR2/ TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Its tough boxed section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing some 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. Great fun to drive, the ‘sidescreen TRs’ have long enjoyed a keen following among enthusiasts.
