Power comes from a 1,991cc inline-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and fed by dual SU carburetors. The TR3 was notable for bringing front disc brakes to the affordable British sports car market, with Triumph introducing them as standard equipment in 1956. This was an important development at a time when drum brakes were still common, giving the TR3 a meaningful advantage in braking performance and reinforcing its reputation as a capable driver’s car.

Additional equipment includes a single exhaust outlet, a floor-mounted shifter, Jaeger/Lucas instrumentation, a three-spoke banjo-style steering wheel, chrome exterior accents, and 15-inch steel wheels fitted with blackwall tires and chrome hubcaps. The combination of traditional styling and purposeful mechanical features gives this Triumph the unmistakable character of a classic British roadster.

Inside, the cabin features black bucket seats accented by white piping, complemented by matching door panels. A passenger grab bar, dash-mounted rearview mirror, door pockets, and glovebox provide practical touches while preserving the straightforward layout expected of a sports car from this era.

With its vibrant Signal Red finish, engaging four-speed manual transmission, and classic British roadster styling, this Triumph TR3 offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy a distinctive piece of sports car history. A fun and characterful classic, it is mechanically sound. For $16,750
