Lot 41: Triumph TR3A
Vintage, Classic & Collectors's Motor Vehicles, BCA (27th November 2007)
One of the best loved sports cars of its day, the TR3A was the last version of the TR range to use the famed cut-away style doors, prior to the introduction of the Michelotti designed TR4 in November 1961.� TRs made a name for themselves on road and track, powered by the wet-liner standard Vanguard engine with various modifications.� They produced an excellent performance with predictable handling and good fuel economy for a car of the type, which was enhanced considerably with the optional overdrive when fitted.This example was manufactured in 1959 and underwent restoration some years ago.� It is finished in British Racing Green with a red interior, as original, has a black genuine Works hardtop and looks smart and correct throughout.� It has the advantage of the optional overdrive on 2nd, 3rd and top gear and we understand the vehicle's mechanical condition to be in keeping with its general appearance.�The engine has been rebuilt within the last few months and is still to be run in.� In total, �5,468 was spent and invoices are supplied.� Imported from South Africa some years ago, it has always been in right-hand-drive form and is without question a pleasing example of this evergreen British sports car.
