The Appeal

One of Triumph's most legendary products, the TR3 was - as you'd expect - an evolution of the TR2. While it really wasn't reinventing the wheel, it was practically guaranteed success. That timeless roadster aesthetic, sleek and minimalist, was all present and correct, while charismatic, perky performance was offered with the familiar Triumph four-pot. It didn't rest on its laurels, though. In 1956, the car became the first British motor with disc brakes, and 1957 saw a series of little styling changes in what would come to be known as the TR3A - though it was never badged as such.

This fine example was imported to Denmark in 2003, and has had a history of long-term ownership since. Provided with a valid Technical Inspection until 2029, it's a remarkably solid, nicely presented car that's been subject to plenty of work over the past decade. We're sure this car will garner plenty of interest - after all, it's recently repainted, shining like a freshly polished pin and ready and waiting to drive away.
