Description
The TR2 was a great success, both in its home country and far beyond, so the expectations were high for the TR3. The TR3 was introduced in 1955, and at first glance, it shared a lot in common with the TR2. Changes to the 2-litre-engine, derived from the Standard Vanguard, increased power to 95 hp, but the most noticeable difference was the introduction of an egg-box radiator grille. The engine received an update midway through 1956, producing 100 hp; then in August of that year, front disc brakes were fitted. Triumph introduced the TR3A in 1957 with some cosmetic changes. The new front-end styling included a full-width grille with indicators, and the interior was also improved significantly.
This TR3 is a beautiful Triumph that was professionally restored and overhauled a few years ago. The restoration work included a frame-off restoration. A detailed photo book with documents shows the restoration process and overhaul work. This car comes with a lot of documentation, including numerous invoices demonstrating that no expense was spared on maintenance. In addition to the extensive documentation, we provide this Triumph with a valuation report.
Looking at the Triumph from the outside, it is immediately apparent that its visual condition is excellent. The paintwork looks beautiful in a timeless white colour, Old English White, and the various body parts fit together very nicely. Additionally, this TR3 was originally delivered in white. The chrome bumpers and strips are in good shape as well, and the windows are in excellent condition, along with rubber parts like door and window seals. The chassis is good and solid, as is the underside. The engine bay is neat and tidy.
Inside, it’s evident that everything looks well cared for. The invoices show that this Triumph received new upholstery during the restoration work. It is in excellent condition, as is the dashboard and carpets.
If we turn the key, we hear a healthy-sounding TR3. The engine runs beautifully, idles smoothly, and responds well to throttle changes. Thanks to the overhaul work, the engine is in excellent condition. The mechanical components, such as the various suspension parts, are also in good condition. Driving this Triumph is a joy without any worries.
