1959 TRIUMPH TR3A ROADSTER 65,331 MILES SHOWING

Presenting in a shade of British Racing Green with Tan interior trim.

Subject of a major engine rebuild and restoration around 2002 by the present owner, we hold a photo album with loads of photos showing the full transformation.

The engine is a slightly newer and rebuilt TR3B unit of 2138cc and increased slightly in power output to 75Kw. As part of the engine rebuild, it was upgraded to accept unleaded fuel and the gearbox received attention at the same time. Approximately 10,000 miles have elapsed since the re-build.

The vehicle also wears period correct alloy wheels which were a popular alternative to the original either steel or wire wheels.

Subject of a recent major service by Adelaide’s Triumph specialists, Classic and Sportscar Boutique of Norwood on the 8th of August 2024 at 65220 miles.

Original specifications for a TR3B engine were 75Kw delivered to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual gearbox with o/drive on 2nd, 3rd & 4th gears, effectively making a 7 ratio gearbox. Performance figures for that engine at the time of release were 0-100kph in 11.1 secs and a top speed near 175kph.

However after the rebuild, these above figures may have been improved slightly.

This car has featured in many car club events and show and shines, the owner a current active member of the All Makes Historic Car Club of Willunga on the Fleurieu Peninsula of SA.

Currently on Historic registration in South Australia, this is not transferable however it would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions, which equates to minimal on road costs.

Having always been housed in a garage since restoration, this TR3A/B presents very well and would easily satisfy the next classic car owner.
