The postwar Standard-Triumph company, like most British automotive manufacturers, found strong American demand for its products. Exports were critical to the survival of the English auto industry, and Triumph knew that returning American GIs had developed a taste for British sports cars, so plans were made for a new line.

Heavily influenced by the prototype TR, the TR2 debuted in late 1953, followed by the TR3, which was introduced at the 1955 London Motor Show. Shrewdly filling the wide gap between MG and Jaguar, the cars enjoyed strong popularity, thanks to their performance, reliability, fuel economy and surprising durability.

This 1960 Triumph offered here was subject to a complete restoration that was finished in 2014. It comes with the 1,991-cc four-cylinder engine fueled by dual carburetors. The transmission is a four-speed manual with overdrive. The exterior is Signal Red and comes with a soft top and a hard top painted with the British Flag. The upholstery is black accented with white tubing on the bucket seats. Wind wings, chrome wire wheels beautify the exterior of the car.

Included with the car is a photo album of the complete restoration.
