Description
The Triumph TR3 represents one of the most beautiful expressions of the classic British roadster. Born in the 1950s, this car is distinguished by its sporting character and timeless design. Its robust engine and simple yet effective chassis have made it a reliable partner both on the road and in period-competition events. Driving a TR3 is pure pleasure: few aids, plenty of sensation. Its low silhouette, taut lines and authentic spirit still appeal to enthusiasts. Today, the TR3 has become a genuine collector's icon. It embodies English elegance and sportiness to perfection.
The early TR3 generations, known as the 'small-mouth' models, are distinguished by their narrow grilles, giving them a sleeker, more refined appearance. Produced in the mid-1950s, they embody the very essence of original Triumph style. Their more delicate front end appeals with its retro charm and unique character. Under their compact look, these versions retain the mechanical liveliness inherent to the TR3. Their handling, delivering direct sensations, 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 today presented in exceptional condition after a complete and meticulous restoration. Leaving the production lines on 25 July 1957, it retains its original chassis and engine, carefully rebuilt during its restoration. Its English green, classic and deep hue, lends it a rare elegance that perfectly highlights the model's lines. The beige interior, fully redone, provides a warm and refined atmosphere faithful to the spirit of the era. This TR3 is sold complete, with its hood, sidescreens, hood cover and tonneau cover, ready to accompany every outing. We also have its British Heritage Trust file, attesting to its authenticity. Its current owner, an anglophile, has kept it for fifteen years and has taken the greatest care of it. Thanks to this constant care, the car now 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.
