Description of 1960 Triumph TR3 |
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very nice Triumph TR3A Roadster. This car was recently purchased from the family of the original owner and is an excellent, straight, solid, and rustfree specimen. This car still retains it's original title (after financing) from 1962 and it's original sales contract for the new car price of $2,500.50 ! This vehicle has been loved, maintained, and garage-kept from day one and has been the property of a lady... Sometime during the 1980's, it received a cosmetic restoration in the form of a very good, "chrome-off ", quality repaint in it's original color of rare black. It was also retrimmed in it's correct Parchment color. The seats are very comfortable with a full array of working instruments. Today, the car's paintwork is still presenting nicely with an attractive and welcoming mellowed look. It's a completely usable and approachable sportscar. Panel fit all around the car is per factory. The chromework is mostly original and presents very well. The lightly used original windshield glass is also testament to the car's low mileage. The car runs and drive exceptionally well as expected, and has just been fitted with 4 new quality tires. It is also fitted with it's original and desirable 4-speed with Overdrive gearbox (factory-fitted, hence the "LO" VIN number suffix). The original engine bay could use a very minor detailing in the form of repainting a few items in black and some firewall paint touchup.The car's underside is typical and as expected from a well-cared-for low mileage car. It's rustfree with all original sheetmetal, with a perfectly straight frame. After years of careful road use, it has acquired a layer of protective drivetrain oils. There is evidence of a replacement exhaust system at one point. The car includes a newer black softop with a nice matching sidecurtain set, both in good shape and in keeping with the rest of the car's condition.Overall, this very honest and original Triumph is finished in an exceptional and rare factory color scheme. It has an enviable one-owner history from new and has been cherished as a member of the family for all of it's life. This gem of a sidescreen TR will prove to be a rewarding and fun motorcar for it's next lucky caretaker. Please look at all pictures and call or email with any questions. This car is sold with a clear title and is available for inspection by appointment. This car is located in Southern California,35 minutes (30 miles)from the Los Angeles Port of Long Beach.
