Description
There are cars, and then there are stories that roll.
This 1957 Triumph TR3 'Small Mouth', finished in the legendary British Racing Green, is not just a museum piece: it's a real time capsule from the golden age of motorsport, where courage, elegance and mechanical purity paced every mile.
The early 'small mouth' front grille, highly sought after and exclusive to the early TR3s, places this car among the most prized and sought-after versions by collectors.
Adding to its prestige, this example is eligible for the Mille Miglia, granting access to the world's most prestigious and selective historic regularity event.
Further strengthening its pedigree, the car has been awarded the ASI Targa Oro (Gold Plate), a certification reserved for vehicles meeting the highest standards of originality, authenticity and historical fidelity. The accolade attests to the exceptional restoration quality and scrupulous adherence to factory specifications.
Fully restored, the TR3 today presents in exceptional condition, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and careful preservation. It is as impressive to look at as it is enjoyable to drive.
With its athletic silhouette, cut‑out doors, imposing grille and exposed lamps, the TR3 embodies the raw elegance of 1950s British sports cars—machines at home on track as on road. Its robust four‑cylinder engine, direct steering and precise chassis deliver an analogue, immersive driving experience, a sensorial level modern cars can only aspire to match.
The deep British Racing Green hue sublimely complements the sculpted lines of the body, evoking vintage racing imagery and classic cinema. Inside, the minimalist cockpit places the driver at the heart of the experience: pure, mechanical and uncompromising.
This model entered cinema legend when Marcello Mastroianni drove a Triumph TR3 in Federico Fellini's iconic masterpiece La Dolce Vita, forever linking the car to one of the most memorable moments in Italian and international cinema.
