Lot 043: 1962 TRIUMPH TR3B

Finished in Old English White with red leather / vinyl upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in good (four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox, electrical equipment), very good (bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) or excellent (chassis, interior trim) condition. In the current ownership since 1997, it is reported to have undergone an extensive "body off refurbishment by Worcester Classic Car (TR Specialist)" at an estimated cost of ú25,000. Benefiting from "Revington front / rear suspension mods" and an "alloy fuel tank", it was apparently treated to a Revington engine rebuild in 2000 which included a "stage 3 head and balanced crankshaft etc". Converted from left- to right-hand drive and registered as WSU 753 since entering the UK, it is said to "drive beautifully". A rare and appealing sports car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax valid until February 2007.
