Triumph Other (1960)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

The car being offered for sale is a 1960 Triumph TR3A. The date of dispatch was 8, July 1960. It is sure to bring smiles to the face of the person whom is fortunate enough to be the next owner of this fantastic little machine!
I purchased this car from a British car dealer, back in May, 2014. This car had a nut and bolt, frame-off restoration. The best I can tell is that it was all performed back in 2000-2003. It’s hard to know the exact dates because I don’t have a lot of paperwork but I do have a nice photo-album of the restoration. It has since received on-going mechanical and cosmetic attention to maintain it’s appearance and drivability.
About 5 minutes after I purchased this car in St. Louis Missouri, I started out on a 6 day, cross country road-trip. Me and “L’il Guy” covered 2, 211 miles and 7 states, on our way back to Northern California. What a great time I/we had! :) (See Youtube link below.)
To me, this is the perfect car to own. It is done so well that you are proud to take it to a show and open the hood and maybe even put mirrors on the ground to show off the above average condition of the under-carriage… but not so perfect that you can’t drive and enjoy it. It could be best described as an older or slightly-deteriorated” frame-off restoration or “street-driven show car. Well cared for and sorted.
This car has some modern upgrades which make it much more reliable and a pleasure to drive. These upgrades include:
* A switched electric fan* Alternator instead of generator (And a negative ground conversation.)* Modern Honda-style starter motor* Rack and pinion steering* High-beam switch relocated to steering column* Wooden period-correct steering wheel
All exterior lights and latches, gauges, switches, and wiring work as intended. Bottom line: This is a well-sorted, reliable and very fun car. I drove it over 2, 000 miles a couple years ago and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again!
