The carpet shows slight wear in the footwells but overall is very good. Interior: As the pictures show, all the upholstery is in very good condition. The new side curtains are in very good condition. Robbins top and tonneau cover, both in very good condition though the tonneau does show wear. The paint displays normal evidence of enjoyment. It was originally a Texas car, has never been rusted, and is very sound and solid. The period powder blue exterior, with dark blue interior with white piping, white tonneau/top/side curtains and wire wheels look stunning together. The only exception is 1 outer sill was replaced. All the sheet metal is original including the battery box and floor panels. I made a new wiring diagram in Corel Draw to clearly show all wiring changes, so there is no guess work.īody: The restoration included stripping all sheet metal and the frame. The original starter, generator, control box, ammeter and distributor parts are included, so returning to stock would be very easy. A 12V cigarette lighter was added to recharge your electronic devices. The distributor was rebuilt and has a new main shaft bushing and a Pertronix. It is wired so that the “Gen” light in the dash works as it should. The changes were made without cutting any of the stock harness.

An electric fan, which is rarely used, is wired for manual and auto operation. The water pump was rebuilt 2 months ago to “better than new” condition with a 6 blade impeller and a 2 year warranty. I installed a 8 blade TR6 fan properly on a shortened fan hub extension made from billet aluminum. Clutch has 1900 miles on it and works great.Ĭooling System: The neck of the radiator was replaced with a longer unit to make it a closed system. The rebuild included a new countershaft gear. The transmission and overdrive were professionally rebuilt 1900 miles ago.
Transmission: TR3A unit with Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Air filters are K&N, but stock filters are included. The carbs were re-bushed and fit with new throttle shafts. It is a genuine, uncompromised TR as Ken Richardson intended them to be.Įngine: The engine was rebuilt to stock spec, blueprinted and balanced by a Southern California builder of racing engines. This TR3A has been obsessively cared for and thoroughly enjoyed. Then I decided to make a few changes from concours and drive the car more, taking it on several 1000+ mile trips. Over the next 10 years I showed the car in regional and national shows winning numerous 1st, 2nd, and 3rdplace awards. The car received a frame off, nut and bolt restoration in 1989, including a bare metal repaint. I purchased this TR3A in 1971 and have owned it continuously since. 1960 Triumph TR3A - 1 Owner for 46 Years - Overdrive
