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 is reported as a good driver-quality car, as is, or would make a great candidate for a restoration. It comes with an inline four-cylinder engine fueled by dual carburetors and drives well. The transmission is a four-speed manual. The exterior is red and comes with a tan canvas soft-top. The interior features bucket seats, while chrome wire wheels with knock-off hubs and a luggage rack beautify the exterior of the car.
