About this car

This 1956 Triumph TR3 is a genuine home-market right-hand-drive car, supplied new through the dealer PJ Evans. It is finished in its original Signal Red, with Fawn leather trim inside, and uses the 1,991cc engine with a manual gearbox.

The car was restored in 2021. The engine and gearbox were removed and the body stripped before a respray. The engine, gearbox and suspension were rebuilt, the braking system was overhauled and the interior was re-trimmed.

A history file comes with it, including a current V5 registration document, photographs of the restoration and the invoices. The page gives no mileage.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Standard-Triumph's published engine data (1,991cc twin-SU four). Power left null because it went from 95 to 100 bhp gross partway through 1956. Weight and performance left null because most figures for this car come from magazine road tests, not the factory.).

Engine: 1,991 cc, 4 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
