Description
1959 Triumph TR3a
Selling on behalf of my father. Sadly this car is on the market due to ill health. The information within this listing is correct and as much as I know, to the best of my knowledge, about the vehicle.
My father bought this car from Cornwall around 1985. He actually bought 1 chassis but the parts for 2 cars. It then sat in the garage untouched until 2018! At this point it was transferred to Carn Bosavern Garage in St Just, Cornwall to undergo a complete nut and bolt restoration. The resto was completed in 2019 and since that time it hasn’t even completed 1000 miles. It has been garaged and only driven in fair weather.
It’s an original UK car with the original registration number. No expense was spared on the resto and a few modifications were also made:
Body work completely rebuilt using many original panels.
Newly fabricated boot lid.
Fully rust proofed and under sealed.
Engine capacity increased using 2. 2 liners
Fast Road Cam
Electronic Ignition
Standard original SU carbs reconditioned
4 into 1 manifold and full stainless exhaust.
Gearbox, overdrive and rear axle reconditioned
Rear Oil seal machined and modified
Aluminium radiator.
Stainless fuel tank.
Brake Servo added.
Converted to Alternator.
Hi Torq starter motor.
Rack and Pinion steering conversion.
Complete re-wire.
Wire wheel hub conversion.
Brand new wire wheels and spinners.
Original Brightwork rechromed.
New Grille.
Interior renovated and retrimmed in vinyl not leather.
Tonneau Cover.
Original dash and original dials reconditioned.
Moto Lita steering wheel and boss.
Comes with original roof frame but this wasn’t restored or recovered.
That is as much as I currently know. Any questions I am sure I can find the answers so please ask.
Car is located in East Devon. Viewings welcomed. Car is sold as seen and no warranty is implied or given. Please study the pictures as these form part of the description. Videos of the car running can be sent if required. Cash or BACs accepted and car will be released when funds are cleared.
All in all this is an exceptionally clean and tidy example of a great British classic with a full restoration finish without the work or the wait!
