Description
Triumph TR3 - Rare "Baby Blue" colour, remarkable condition Launched in the late 1950s, the Triumph TR3 epitomised the spirit of the post-war British roadster: compact, sporty and with a willing engine.
The example we present here, in a particularly elegant 'Baby Blue' colour, was imported from Canada. Acquired and fully restored by its current owner in 2018, it has since been used sparingly around Cassis and Saint-Tropez, this TR3 benefiting from careful and regular use, ensuring its reliability without excessive mileage.
It was recently exhibited in Cassis as part of the AuTau exhibition, a prestigious local event hosted and sponsored by Vintage Mecanic presenter François Allain. It is a model in excellent presentation and running order, ready to take to the road immediately. History Imported from Canada, this TR3 was purchased from a private individual in Le Beausset in 2018. It has since benefited from rigorous and regular maintenance and has its collector's registration and appraisal to the tune of €34, 000.
