Produced by the historic Triumph Motor Company, as the successor model to the TR2, it is distinguished by its front grille -- hence the nickname -- and the perfect balance of high performance and British elegance. In an era marked by a growing passion for sports cars, the TR3 stands out for its brilliant engine -- a 2. 0 engine producing around 100 hp, which allowed it to reach a top speed of 170 km/ h, important numbers for the time -- for its excellent handling and for its classy, bold design that interpreted the free, adventurous and sophisticated spirit of the 1950s and 1960s. The iconic narrow front grille not only defined the car's nickname, but also gave it a sharp, distinctive profile, while improving aerodynamics. Slightly raised headlights and a tapered front end complete a sporty, refined aesthetic. The steel body, with clean lines and soft curves, expresses robustness. The low position of the seats, sports steering wheel and front disc brakes -- a rarity at the time -- ensure a responsive and engaging driving experience. The TR3 'Bocca Stretta' remains a timeless symbol: Not just a car, but an emblem of style and innovation, beloved by collectors and enthusiasts the world over.... a car able to excite, today as then!
