1959 Triumph TR3A – Classic British Roadster with Tasteful Performance Upgrades
1959 Triumph TR3A – Classic British Roadster with Tasteful Performance Upgrades
This 1959 Triumph TR3A captures the charm and spirit of classic British motoring with a touch of enhanced performance. Finished in Hot Red (PPG Acrylic Enamel – 1990 Ford Festiva color) over a black leather interior, this TR3A presents beautifully and has been under its current owner's care for 13 years, with documented Florida ownership for at least the last 22 years.
Mechanical and Performance Details:
Power comes from a 1967 Triumph TR4A engine, upgraded with Mahle 87mm pistons and liners and a Faspec Hi-Performance “D-9” camshaft, offering a notable bump in performance over the original 2.0L unit. The car breathes through SU H6 carburetors and intake from a TR3, paired with a TR4A diaphragm-type flywheel and clutch, and a “Quick-Trip” exhaust header for improved flow and a distinctive tone.
The drivetrain is completed with a TR4A overdrive transmission, providing comfortable highway cruising, while the rack-and-pinion steering conversion—using a RHD Mini rack and custom kit—delivers more precise handling than the factory setup.
The Triumph TR3A, produced from 1957 to 1962, represented the evolution of the original TR3 — boasting wider grille openings, better weather protection, and refined interior details. Known for its spirited performance and nimble handling, the TR3A remains a favorite among British car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This example, with its tasteful upgrades and documented ownership, offers the ideal blend of originality and drivability — a true driver's car ready for touring or local shows
Recent service updates include:
• New geared starter motor (2022)
• Replacement of original mechanical fuel pump with an electric unit (2022)
Additional Features:
• Wire wheels
• Black convertible top and side curtains
• Partial maintenance documentation
• Front disc brakes – Triumph was the first British manufacturer to equip a production car with them
• Rack and pinion steering conversion for improved driving dynamics
