1959 Triumph TR3A. 5 Speed Gearbox Upgrade. Beautiful Condition. U.K Car.

1959 Triumph TR3A Five Speed. Triumph White with red leather upholstery, red hood, red full tonneau and side screens. Original U.K right hand drive car. The "TR3A" was a minor update from the TR3. The updates included the new wide front grill, exterior door handles, lockable boot handle and came with a full tool kit as standard (this was an option on the TR3). The total production run of the "TR3A" was 58,236. This makes it the third best-selling TR after the TR6 and TR7. The TR3A was so successful that the original panel moulds eventually wore out and had to be replaced. In 1959 a slightly modified version came out that had raised stampings under the bonnet and boot hinges and under the door handles, as well as a redesigned rear floor section. In addition, the windscreen was attached with bolts rather than the Dzus connectors used on the early "A" models. It is estimated that only 9,500 of the original 58,000 built survive today. It is estimated that only 9,500 of the original 58,000 built survive today. This beautiful Triumph has been with its last owner for a few years who was an active member of the TR Register and enjoyed many shows and events in the car. This TR is very well sorted and benefits from the fitment of a 5 speed gearbox, using the highly respected and reliable Mazda MX5 conversion. Lots of money has been lavished on the car over the years as you can clearly see by the condition the car presents itself in today. Last year a new rear axle was fitted with the invoice on file and a full set of new splined hubs, wire wheels and knock on spinners. A fantastic car to drive and with the upgrades is a pleasure to travel any distance and ideal for any car tours you may wish to partake in. The car is very solid with no sign of any corrosion and is as good underneath as it is on top, the paintwork displaying a great lustre and the upholstery and trim unmarked. All chrome in outstanding condition. The door shuts and panel gaps very good. The engine bay is very well detailed and the engine certainly runs as good as it looks. Starting on the button with strong oil pressure the car pulls well through the rev range and gives a lovely exhaust note to boot. This is a TR3A that is ready to be enjoyed and a car that anyone would be very proud to own. It will certainly grace any showground or collection. Although now tax and mot exempt a fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted.
