The Triumph TR3 of 1955 was a development of the TR2, Standard-Triumph’s entry into the sports car market that had replaced the outdated Roadster. Like the TR2, it was a ‘true roadster’ – weather protection was definitely not a priority, and there were no side windows, only clip-on side screens. Inside, there were removable rubber plugs in the floor for those unfortunate occasions where the rain would catch one unawares. But comfort never was the main concern when these sports cars were developed; the TR3 rewarded its drivers in other ways, with responsive handling and excellent performance from the 2-litre 4-cylinder Standard engine, producing 100bhp by the time the facelifted model, often called the TR3A, was introduced in 1957. From 1956, TR3s also came with disc brakes as standard on the front – a first for a UK production car. Robust, rugged and dependable, the TR3 enjoyed great popularity both in the general market – over 58,000 were sold – and in the world of motorsport, where it is still a popular competitor in historic classes.
This 1958 TR3A is in good condition mechanically and structurally, with the interior and paintwork fair for their age. Fitted with the desirable optional overdrive unit for more relaxed cruising, it also has wire wheels – another optional extra when new. It also has an uprated starter motor, electric fuel pump and electric fan. It also comes with a spare engine block, a hard top, a soft top and frame, plus side screens and a tonneau cover. All these can be collected from the vendor’s premises by the buyer. It is offered with various bills and records from the current and previous owners, plus a V5C.

This, 45 other classic cars, automobilia and collectables will be offered for auction on September 19th at our new venue Showell Farm, near Chippenham, SN15 2NU. Fully illustrated catalogue at Richard Edmonds Auctions website.
