Triumph’s TR3A was produced between 1957 and 1962. The TR3A is one of the more iconic British sports cars. It was popular when new and this enthusiasm is shared among collectors, as well as those that participate in vintage road racing.

This Triumph TR3A is presented in metallic black with a white soft-top and matching window curtains plus a tonneau cover. The car is powered by an inline four-cylinder engine with dual carburetors paired to a four-speed manual transmission. The engine resides in a detailed bay. The owner states the engine is not original to the car. The car rides on chromed knock-off wire wheels. Other exterior features on the car include fender-mounted sideview mirrors and additional foglights mounted on a lightbar between the front bumper guards. The interior features wool carpets and black leather bucket seats with white piping. Additional interior features include a removable aftermarket Alpine stereo, wood steering wheel, primarily Jaeger instrumentation and seatbelts. The owner states that the steering in the car has been upgraded to an MGA rack-and-pinion system, and he also conveys it has had a recent mechanical service.
