1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible Chassis no. TS68211L Engine no. TS65114E 1,991cc OHV Inline 4-Cylinder Engine 2 SU Carburetors 100bhp at 5,000rpm 4-Speed Manual Transmission Front Independent Suspension - Live Rear Axle Front Disc - Rear Drum Brakes *Nicely restored for drivability *Desirable late-production TR3A *Multiple first place finisher *The classic Triumph sports car THE TRIUMPH TR3 Introduced in October 1955, the TR3 was, indeed, little different from the preceding TR2. Changes to the 2.0-liter engine boosted power from 90 to 95bhp, but the most obvious difference was the adoption of an 'egg box' radiator grille. The engine developed 100bhp courtesy of a new cylinder head by mid-1956; then in August, Girling front disc brakes were introduced. The TR3A was introduced during 1957, with cosmetic changes including new front-end styling featuring a full-width grille incorporating sidelights/indicators, and locking door and trunk handles plus an improved interior. Today these charismatic Triumph sports cars remain popular for their usability, ease of maintenance, good looks and the fact that they are immense fun to drive. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Dispatched on February 29, 1960, according to a copy of a Connecticut title in May of 1970 the car belonged to Nicholas Solimere, Jr. The car eventually made its way south to Texas where it was restored by Duke Voeikel in McKinney, Texas in 2012—a photo album documents the work completed. In 2015 and '16 the car won first place for a late TR3A at the Vintage Triumph Register Meet. The current owner acquired the car from Santa Anna, California in 2017. Carefully maintained since purchase, a few small drivability modifications have been made including an electronic distributor, spin on oil conversion, and a change to negative grounding. A first place winner at the 2015 and '16 Vintage Triumph Register Meet (VTR Nationals) for late TR3As, the car is complete with photos of some of the restoration work completed, its British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate, and a service manual. It is the quintessential example of handsome British roadster—all that is missing is a bit of tweed and a new owner to wear it while driving the car!
