The TR3 was launched by The  Standard-Triumph Motor Company of Coventry, England in October of 1955 as the successor to the TR2. In 1956, the TR3 became the first British production car to be equipped with front disc brakes.  In 1957, the TR3 received a new wider and less recessed grille, standard external door handles and a locking boot handle; these cars are unofficially designated as the TR3A (1957-1962).
Top down fun is what the TR3 is all about!
Stylistically, the term “rugged” seems to fit. With its cut-down doors, sweeping fender lines, its trim, and oh so British rear end, and headlights similar to the early Sprite, the TR3 boosted Triumph into becoming one of Britains leading producer of open two seat sports cars and in 1960 was the best selling roadster in the U.S.
Car is fitted with a beautiful wood wheel and the original “banjo style” steering wheel and hub is with the car as well.
Standard four speed transmission.
All gauges are working although temp gauge reads a little off.
Door panels are in good shape as is door fit.
The powerplant is the 1,991 cc in-line 4 cylinder overhead valve engine producing 100 hp and capable of powering the car to a top speed of near 110 mph. This horsepower, coupled with abundant torque, made the TR3 a fun and spunky driver. Â The cut down doors make 60 mph feel more like a 100 (so no need for any ill advised attempts for top end!!).
Twin 1 3/4″ SU H6 carbs; 8:5- 1 Compression Ratio. Custom all aluminum radiator by Ron Davis Racing and an oil cooler with braided stainless steel lines to keep it cool!
Nice to see the original Mulliner Body Plate still on the car!
Spare wheel/tire compartment below the boot is not rusted with a good lower pan. Spare wheel with tire, jack, lug wrench, T handle coach key, factory workshop manual are included. The inner glove box liner is missing but new ones are available for $ 50 including hardware.
