1959 Triumph TR3A. RHD,Numbers Matching, Overdrive SOLD
Vehicle is complete numbers matching original Signal Red vehicle, and British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate comes with vehicle. Vehicle has overdrive, as per original specification (shown on heritage certificate).
Originally delivered to Australia in March 1959, and spent all her life there until I purchased in November 2015, and then had shipped to the UK. (I am an Aussie living in the UK)
Car was sent to TR Bitz as soon as arrived in the UK.
Complete inspection performed.
MOT passed and fully DVLA registered in UK.
As an original export for the Australian market the vehicle is RHD from factory, and has spent it’s entire life in the dry country of Australia. Car is 100% rust free. Body / chassis is in superb condition thanks to it’s life in the dry conditions of Australia.
Extensive restoration and upgrades performed by previous owner, in Australia, in the late 2000’s. Vehicle has been very well cared for since restoration was completed, and currently presenting in very good condition.
Features include; Full synchro-mesh gearbox, overdrive in 2nd / 3rd / 4th, rack and pinion steering, high torque starter motor, front discs with added brake booster, new Revotec thermostatic controlled electric cooling fan, new battery, wire wheels, soft tops (black), sidescreens (black), tonneau cover (black), roll-bar (fits to inner guards when in place – not currently installed), new Momo steering wheel, Tacho recently refurbished by JDO.
This car has all the essential upgrades for pleasurable touring in a 1959 classic!
Drives superbly on the road.
A real pleasure to drive.
Engine was re-built with assistance of TR Bitz towards end of 2016.
New 86mm piston and liner set installed, so now 2. 2L motor.
Cylinder head refurbished, with new valves, springs, hardened valve seats (now runs on unleaded, with no need for fuel additive). Whilst head was off it could be seen that it’d benefited from previous port and polishing work.
New Phoenix extractor manifold, and complete big-bore stainless steel sports exhaust.
New water pump. New oil pump.
Oil pressure is spot-on. Carbies tuned by TR Bitz.
Engine pulls very strongly.
I’ve enjoyed tinkering away and fine-tuning the vehicle over the past year or so.
Time has come to move her on to a new owner. (As we’re looking to purchase a motorhome for extended European touring)
High resolution photos can be e-mailed through.
I am sure the first serious buyer will not be disappointed, and will take great pleasure in being the new owner of this superb 1959 TR3A.
If you’re interested – I’d be quick!
