Description
The Triumph TR3 represents one of the finest expressions of the classic British roadster. Born in the 1950s, this car stands out for its sporty character and timeless design. Its robust engine and its simple yet effective chassis have made it a reliable partner both on the road and in contemporary competitions. Driving a TR3 is raw pleasure: few driver aids, plenty of sensation. Its low silhouette, taut lines and authentic spirit still captivate enthusiasts. Today, the TR3 has become a genuine collectible icon. It perfectly embodies English elegance and sporting spirit.
The early TR3 generations known as 'small mouth' are distinguished by their narrow grille, giving them a slimmer, more elegant look. Built in the mid-1950s, they represent the very essence of Triumph's original style. Their more delicate front end appeals with retro charm and a unique personality. Beneath their compact appearance, these versions retain the TR3's mechanical vitality. Their direct-handling makes them ideal machines for winding roads. Today, the 'small mouth' TR3s are particularly sought after for their authenticity. They embody the purity and character of the very first TR3s.
Our 'small mouth' TR3 is presented today in exceptional condition after a complete and meticulous restoration. From production lines on 25 July 1957, it retains its original chassis and engine, carefully rebuilt during restoration. Its 'English green' colour, classic and deep, gives it rare elegance that perfectly underlines the model's lines. The beige interior, fully redone, provides a warm and refined atmosphere, faithful to the period spirit. This TR3 is sold complete, with its canvas hood, its side screens, its hood cover and its tonneau cover, ready to accompany every outing. We also possess its British Heritage Trust file, attesting to its authenticity. Its current owner, a lover of English cars, has kept it for fifteen years and has taken the greatest care of it. Thanks to this constant attention, the car today runs smoothly and reliably. Its charm lies as much in its small-mouth silhouette as in the quality of its history and restoration. It represents a rare opportunity for any enthusiast of classic English cars.
