Description
The Triumph TR3A is of course a very stylish and sporty roadster to look at and certainly to drive. But that is completely applicable to this beautiful 1959 Triumph TR3A in rally version. This English classic roadster is perfectly suited for rally events and has a Fiva identity card. This means that it can participate in international rally events. Of course, the car is also equipped with a rally tripmaster, roll bar and a hardtop with authentic Lucas roof lamp.
This Triumph TR3A was originally delivered in Belgium. It is therefore one of the few copies that were intended for the European market and therefore also has an original odometer (instead of miles). In 1967, the car came to the Netherlands and has always been carefully and well maintained. In the past, the car has been completely restored and the original color Primrose Yellow has been changed to the current color Old English White. During the restoration, an early TR4 engine was installed, which was overhauled in 2002.
The car is still in exceptionally good condition. The body colour still has a nice shine and the various chrome and trim parts are also still in very good condition. The paintwork has a few small spots, but is actually still very good. The stylish spoke rims form a nice combination. And the spotlights on the front are not only functional but also give the car an extra sporty look. The black hardtop is easy to (dis)assemble and of course the authentic Lukas roof light works fine.
The interior is also still in very good condition. The black leather seats are still in very good condition and are very comfortable. The dashboard is also still in neat condition and all instruments work properly. The Brantz tripmaster and classic stopwatch have recently been reinstalled and of course work fine. The classic map reading light also works well. The leather sports steering wheel is nice and firm in the hand and feels direct.
This Triumph TR3A is perfectly suited for a wonderful drive. The engine runs very nicely and smoothly and the car also shifts well and accurately. The overdrive provides more comfort at higher speeds. The car steers nicely sporty and direct. The sporty sound from the exhaust makes the experience complete. For those looking for a stylish and sporty, classic rally car, this Triumph TR3A is the perfect car!
