Triumph Other (1958)
for sale

Price: US $8,000.00

Description:

Classic English roadster having the same owner for over 40 years. Well maintained, garaged, and driven sparingly. Rebuilt car mechanics in 1997 with performance engine (87mm pistons), performance cylinder head and clutch, reconditioned SU carburetors, Cobalt high performance plug wire and distributor set connected to a Lucas Sport high voltage ignition coil. Rebuilt chasis with heavy duty front shocks, front-end/suspension & steering rebuild kits, new front and rear brakes, and a Monza chrome-tipped sport muffler. New Michelin XZX 165 SR 15 radial tires complement the racing feel and handling. New gas tank, red cut pile carpeting, and a reconditioned trunk in excellent condition. Front and rear bumper overriders, rear brake light assemblies, front bumper chrome trim, and sport passing mirror will be provided for body restoration with car purchase. Rear leaf springs and lever shocks, generator rebuilt and radiator core replaced as well when I first purchased the car. Comes with new soft top and fiberglass hardtop along with side curtains. Mechanically sound and ready for the road. Mechanical work restoration backed up with shop order receipts. Considerations: The brake master cylinder needs to be replaced ($40 from Moss Motors), along with labor to bleed the system, and the car is ready to be put back on the road. The seats are from a TR4A (what I got when I purchased the car), and are in good shape but need new leather reupholstering. A purist might consider replacement with authentic TR3 seats but the TR4 seats are actually better built and more comfortable. This TR3A has much potential for the right buyer. There is minimal rust and minor body work needed. It is a good car for easy restoration and an incredible race feel.
