1960 TRIUMPH TR3 A - Lot 42

1960 TRIUMPH TR3 A Chassis n° Ts/50903L Collector's registration Introduced in October 1955, the Triumph TR3 was an improved version of the TR2. It built on the success of its predecessor. The TR3 can now reach 170 km/h and 34 seconds from a standing start. A lively car that offers its share of sensations. This transformation was accompanied by a few aesthetic changes: a wider grille, less bulging frog eyes (the headlights were moved back on the hood), and new bumpers. For the first time on a TR, the TR3A was also fitted with door handles. The real revolution was the introduction of front disc brakes. Customers flocked to the brand's showrooms, and production rates rose considerably on the factory's modest production lines. The TR3 A is always there when you ask it to take to the open road, and inside, it's never the same journey. If it's the most common, the TR3 A series is also the most popular. And with good reason: the model benefits from numerous improvements that make it more "user-friendly". This model was delivered new to the USA in 1960. In generally good condition, it was restored in the 2000s. The mechanics are in good working order and provide a nice feel. Acquired by its owner in 2022, this pretty TR3 A represents a great opportunity to acquire a nice British roadster! 1960 TRIUMPH TR3 A Chassis n° Ts/50903L Collector's registration document Introduced in October 1955, the Triumph TR3 was an improved version of the TR2.
