The Appeal
The Triumph TR3A hails from a golden era of sports car manufacturing, combining racing-bred performance with a charm synonymous with British automakers. With its distinctive wide-mouth grille and proven competition pedigree, the TR3A remains one of the most recognisable and beloved roadsters of the 1950s.
This 1958 example has been cherished by the same registered keeper for 32 years, having undergone a comprehensive professional restoration in 1993 that addressed both bodywork and mechanics. Since then, it has covered just 43,500km and has been maintained primarily by J-Pierre Tessier garage, specialists in English marques including Jaguar, Triumph, and Austin Healey. The vendor has undertaken ambitious long-distance tours to Denmark and Tunisia, a testament to the car's reliability and roadworthiness.
Finished in British Racing Green with black interior, the TR3A is presented in very good condition for its age. The comprehensive documentation package includes full photo records of the restoration, complete restoration and maintenance invoices, and all MOT certificates since 1999. With matching serial numbers and a vehicle safety inspection valid to June 2027, this well-sorted TR3A offers an opportunity to acquire a properly maintained example with exemplary provenance.20260123_164325.jpg5.29 MB
