1957 Triumph TR3

This 1957 Triumph TR3 was refurbished under previous ownership and acquired by the selling dealer in September 2022. Power is supplied by a 2.0-liter inline-four, while shifting is via a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in red over tan upholstery, and additional features include a black convertible soft top, side curtains, a rear luggage rack, 15″ steel wheels, and front disc brakes. Service performed in 2024 is said to have involved overhauling the dual SU carburetors, installing Michelin XZX tires, rebuilding the calipers, and replacing the fuel pump, radiator, and brake and clutch master cylinders. This TR3 is now offered with a clean Texas title. The car was refinished in red as part of a refurbishment completed under previous ownership, and the selling dealer states that areas of the floor were replaced at that time. Exterior details include a black convertible soft top and side curtains as well as wind wings, fender-mounted side mirrors, stone guards, a rear luggage rack, and a chrome front bumper and rear bumperettes. A tan boot cover will accompany the car. Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear Triumph-branded chrome hubcaps as well as 165-width Michelin XZX tires that show 2023 date codes, while a spare wheel is mounted in the rear bodywork. Work completed in 2024 is said to have involved rebuilding the front calipers as well as replacing the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, rear brake shoes, and brake hoses. The bucket seats are trimmed in tan vinyl that extends to the dashboard and door panels. Black carpets line the floors, and additional equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a passenger grab handle, a locking glove compartment, and a wooden shift knob. The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Jaeger instrumentation that consists of a 120-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. Auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and amperage are positioned at the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 57k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the selling dealer. The 2.0-liter inline-four is fed by dual SU carburetors that were overhauled in 2024 according to the seller. Additional work performed in anticipation of the sale is said to have included refreshing the fluids along with replacing the radiator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and battery. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Service completed in 2024 reportedly involved cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the clutch master cylinder. The reproduction data plate, shown above, lists commission number TS21559. The same sequence accompanied by an “L” suffix is listed as the VIN on the Texas title.
