Triumph TR3a – UK Car/ Overdrive/ Fully Restored
The TR3 produced between 1955/ 62 was equally at home as everyday transport, a rally stage car across Europe or on the racetrack at Le Mans. Today original specification UK cars are highly sought after offering utterly engaging motoring with 1950’s style – we love them!
At Milestone Classics we always like to keep a small selection of Triumphs in stock and simply could not resist this stunning narrow-mouth TR3 that we originally sold in 2016.
Summary of Car:

The car first came to us in 2016 from a retired engineer who had owned the TR3 for just over 30 years. During this time, he has invested a significant amount of time, knowledge, and finance to create an utterly reliable car that looks stunning (while not over restored) and could be driven anywhere with complete confidence.
The last owner has maintained this standard of care/ attention to detail and today the car is one of the best TR3’s that we have market through Milestones
On the road the car is utterly engaging with lots of low-down torque and an exhaust note that demands you double-declutch on every down change.
The large history file goes back to the 1970’s and contains lots (and lots) of invoices, registration documents, contemporary literature, MOT’s, books etc.
From the golden age of post war motoring the car drives as good as she looks and unlike many cars from this period is easy to enter/ exit even with the hood up. The overdrive option means the TR copes brilliantly with modern traffic, steering/ brakes are excellent, and the exhaust note is simply addictive.
Ready for new adventures she will provide her new keeper with lots of pleasure, big smiles & make happy memories for many years to come.
One I would like to keep for me.
