1957 Triumph TR3 Roadster Additional Info:

1957 Triumph TR3 Roadster Dyer classics best describes this consignment as a "Baby faced corner killer". And indeed, it was with more horsepower than the Porsche 356, and the first car to have optional 4-wheel disc brakes which were worked out in earlier racing experiences. Our example presents in beautiful black and has snazzy looking chrome, low side doors and a 1991cc engine. A great car to take out for a tool on a sunny day and carve out some curves! Put the top down and everything will be just cracking mate. Exterior With its bugeye sprite-esque looks having bullet style headlights tucked into the space between the front rounded English wheel shaped fenders and the hood, and a chromed tooth smiling grille below it certainly looks friendly upon first inspection. Those fenders with their top touch of chrome edging and class, frame black painted steel wheels and some small chromed center caps, wrapped in all black wall rubber. These take a dive downward and inward to the low door entries. On its way it sees a shiny window frame for the front windshield and dual rear-view mirrors on the tops of the fenders near to the headlights. Just aft of the low doors is a stainless-steel plate that forms to the front of the rear fender, which its round form rises upward then gracefully lowers for the rear quarters and frames the trunk deck. On each corner are small red dog nose shaped tail lights along with some chrome bezels round running lights. The gas filler is just behind the passenger cowl in the center, and on the back are dual vertical bar bumpers. The black paint has some scratches and a small area of satin black touchup on the lower passenger door. A side view is like looking at waves of the ocean breaking not one, not twice, but 3 times along the sides of this beautiful Triumph. Also, it's worth mentioning, a white convertible top in good condition that is just slightly soiled but has no apparent damage as it appears to have spent most of its life in the down position. Quite right! You're bloody well right! Interior A swing of the low-slung doors and we see nice red vinyl door panels with their crescent curved sills and chromed actuator and inclement weather side panel holders and a red rope pull, (we note the side curtains are in the trunk!). Red leather covers low back bomber buckets which have horizontal tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters and some white piping for the edges. These chairs are shown to have aged nicely and are also slightly soiled. Behind the buckets is a red carpeted storage space. On the hump is a cup looking shape which is housing the shift lever. As we move to the dash front a red leather with a padded rolled over red dash topper is showing nicely. Several round gauges, including two larger ones are in front of the aged banjo styled wheel. Also a smattering of knobs and pulls and the ignition is within this panel. A glove box and a chrome Jesus bar are in front of the passenger seat. Red clean carpeting covers the floors and is showing in good condition. A nifty feature is a center dash mounted rear view mirror. I say! Drivetrain Under the hood in the fully restored engine bay sits a 1991cc inline 4-cylinder engine. This is being fed by 2 SU H6 carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission is on back with a 3.70 final drive to put power to the ground. Looking just bonny under this bonnet. Blimey! Undercarriage Some patina and very light surface rust, but the black X framing holds solid floor pans and rockers. Independent coil spring suspension in front and leaf springs for the back along with disc front brakes and rear drums. Surface rust is just a bit heavier in the front section of this car. Drive-Ability She fired right up and a totally fun drive for this TR aficionado. Nothing better than the throaty roar of a 4 banger exhaust accelerating through the gears smoothly, top down, and carving corners while doing it. Good solid braking and just a great looking and driving classic British sports car. This car has been struck a bit by the prince of darkness, (Lucas Electrics), as the heater blower, (the consignor states the heater does work), turn signals and wipers are all non functional. With a few faults at the seams on the body, and the paint which is showing some wear, the car still totally bleeds class. With its undulating design and profile, those low doors, long hood and bugeye headlights it just bleeds British. Overall looks great and performs with a smile on the grille. We give you the low door TR3 from 1957. Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 850 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles. Also, a 400 vehicle barn find collection is on display.
