The Triumph TR3 is a sports car which was produced between 1955 and 1962 by Standard-Triumph in England. The facelifted variant, popularly but unofficially known as the "TR3A", entered production in 1957 and the final version, unofficially the "TR3B", was produced in 1962.
Although the car was usually supplied as an open two-seater, an occasional rear seat and bolt-on steel hard top were available as extras.
The car was powered by a 1,991 cc straight-4 OHV engine initially producing 95 bhp (71 kW; 96 PS). This was later increased to 100 bhp at 5,000 rpm. The four-speed manual gearbox was installed. In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drums to discs.
The TR3 thus became the first series production car to be fitted with standard disk brakes.
Its weight was significantly more than the Morgan Plus Four and the 356 Porsches, but not much more than the MGA and MGB. All except the Morgan, which shared the same engine, were substantially less powerful.
Original price (basic model) - £950
Fuel consumption is 10.4 L/100 km.
The main dynamic characteristics:
Speed Time
0-30 mph (48 km /h) 3.6 s
0-50 mph (80 km / h) 7.5 s
0-60 mph (97 km / h) 10.8 s
0-90 mph (140 km /h) 28.8 s
The TR3A version has got the following major renovations:
- a new wide front grill,
- exterior door handles,
- lockable boot handle,
- a full tool kit.
