Description
The Triumph TR3 will be produced between 1955 and 1962. It represents one of the most iconic post-war British roadsters. The TR3A is capable of offering surprising performance for its era. It will delight you with its character and its timeless aesthetics.
The specimen offered is a 1959 TR3A, restored a few years ago. On this occasion a TR2 front end was installed. Its body alignments are remarkable. It today presents a very nice state of use.
The 2. 0-litre engine receives two Weber 40 DCOE carburettors mounted on TWM pipes, electronic ignition 123, an electric fuel pump, an additional oil radiator, a steel manifold and an inox exhaust line. Tuning was carried out by WG Racing to develop 107 bhp on the bench.
The rest of the car has also undergone particular attention:
• Steering box replaced by a rack
• Aluminium fuel tank
• Hi-torque starter
• 4 synchronised gears with original TR4 overdrive
• Aviation-type hydraulic hose
• Hydraulic shock absorber kit (lever-type dampers originally)
• Large-diameter stabiliser bar
• Semi-elliptic leaf springs
• 15-inch aluminium Minilite-style wheels
• Reconditioned wiring loom
• 12V charging alternator
• Brooklands Aeroscreen
• Front bucket seats “BB Seats” in black faux leather
• Hella headlights and lamps (LED lamps)
• Additional Lucas lamps
This vehicle is accompanied by a recent expert report as well as its classic car registration document.
As you will have understood, this TR3 has undergone a few improvements that set it apart from a vehicle in original specification. The harmony of engine and chassis gives it an undeniable performance edge that only informed enthusiasts will appreciate.
