Triumph
TR3A roadster, 1960
Strong performance, lovely aesthetics, simple, reliable classic sports car
Unlike its MG competitors, this car really goes…..100 hp, lots of torque, rated at 110 mph top speed, and
the first major production car to have disc brakes.
Excellent 2 liter pushrod
engine….my tests, 155-160 psi compression in every cylinder, 80 psi oil
pressure when warm, no smoke cold or hot, quiet valves…all factory
perfect. And compare this to most of
the cars on eBay with sellers who have no idea as to their car’s compression or
oil pressure!
Transmission works well, doesn’t pop out of gear, has good synchromesh action, differential is quiet, disc brakes work very well, master cylinders appear to be new, and the exhaust
sounds as it should.
Paint looks fairly new and
has a great look…..straight down the sides, door fit well, very good
shine. And no cracks or bubbles. Excellent spare wheel floor with no rust at
all. Floors also look good….not perfect
but very good for the age of the car.
Shows 66, 000 miles and a good
chance that is original, judging by all of the original parts of the car.
All original gauges…no non
standard units here), original heater, wire wheels, interior/upholstery is
very good AND it has an upholstered (optional) back seat for 2+2 seating….maybe
not for two extra adults but certainly sufficient for two happy kids.
Most of the chrome is new, top appears to be fairly new and same with the boot cover and side
curtains. Underneath and inside the
wheel wells, painted and detailed, and the entire front suspension appears to
have been recently disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt.
Engine bay is very
clean, painted the same as the exterior, original wiring harness is intact and
all electricals work. No massive oil
leaks or odd sounds, and on the road, it is a pleasure to drive with ample
performance.
