Description
Stunning 1959 Triumph TR3, an iconic British roadster built by the Triumph Motor Company. Presented in its original colour “Primrose Yellow”, this car perfectly embodies the English sporting elegance of the late 1950s.
This TR3 benefited from a full restoration in 2020, carried out with respect for its original configuration. It now presents in a remarkable condition, with a body and chassis in pristine condition.
The car is reliable, well maintained and ready to hit the road immediately, including for long distances.
History and use
Produced between 1955 and 1962, the TR3 is one of the most loved British roadsters by collectors. It was notably one of the first production cars equipped with front disc brakes, which made it a very modern sports car for its era.
This example has taken part in numerous touring rallies and club outings, always without any mechanical issues. Today it offers authentic, direct and engaging driving pleasure, true to the great British sportscars of the 1950s.
