Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Comprehensive restoration with photo report available
  • Tidy car finished in classic racing red
  • Popular British classic with 2litre engine and manual box 

The Appeal

The TR3 is the sports car that powered the British car industry’s success in America.  Robust mechanicals and a revvy 2litre engine made them a success on and off road across world rally stages.  
Today these cars are perennials of the classic scene, beloved for their sleek lines and character.  
This 1959 car is classically finished in red following a comprehensive high end restoration.  The 1,991cc 4-cylinder engine with twin carburettors delivers a spirited driving experience, while the 4-speed manual transmission adds to the car's engaging character. 
It is a great example of these compelling sports cars and perfect for summer.
