Buyer’s notes
About the Triumph TR3A
The TR3A of 1957 to 1962 gave the TR3 a full-width front grille, exterior door handles and a lockable boot handle, kept its front disc brakes, and used the Standard 1,991 cc four with 100 bhp; 58,236 were built.
What moves the price
- Rust in the chassis mounts, sills and scuttle, which decides the cost of a car.
- Market of origin: many cars are returned US exports, which are not reliably less rusty than British ones.
- Originality and the quality of any restoration.
Before you buy, check
- The chassis-to-body mounting points, the inner and outer sills and the ends of the front outriggers.
- The front bulkhead and scuttle, which rot if the drains block, and the footwells.
- Recent paint, which can hide poor repairs.
