1959 Triumph TR3A – fully restored
Wonderfully restored Triumph TR3A roadster in great mechanical and cosmetic condition and with only 98714 miles on the odometer. The car retains its original 2-liter inline-4 engine making 100 brake horsepower and a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car has the desirable overdrive and wire wheels that were options from the factory. Original factory black and factory heater options. Built on May 29, 1959, and imported by the USA dealer Cal Sales in San Francisco on June 9, 1959. A British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate is included in the sale confirming factory options. Two sets of wheels are included in the sale, the chrome wire wheels on the car and the red wire seen in photos below.
The car was imported from the USA to Denmark in 2006. The car was restored to the highest standard over a long time, from 2009 to 2015, under the Danish owner's commission. Restoration included new paint, new interior, new brakes system, new starter, engine, and transmission rebuilt, new manifold, new starter, new switches, new soft-top, new water and fuel pump, new tires, and a new heater among other things - the total cost of restoration exceeding 30, 000 Euros. Invoices for work done are included in the sale.
The car has been inspected and fully serviced and can be enjoyed as-is for many years to come. The car has a Danish title and registration and is coming out of Danish ownership. The car passed the Danish technical inspection (Syn/ MOT/ TUV) and will not have to pass inspection until April 2024.
One of the very best British roadsters we have seen in a long time, a very desirable and collectible car.
