Description
Desirable early Small Mouth TR3 finished in white over a blue interior. Recently recommissioned after long-term storage, the engine starts easily and runs smoothly, with operational transmission, clutch, and brakes. Fitted with a period-correct Brooklands windscreen and classic wire wheels. Frame and chassis appear solid, and the spare tire area is clean. Floor pans have rust with previous patch repairs, and the trunk floor exhibits light surface rust. Comes equipped with a working soft top frame, new soft top (in box), side windows, spare wheel, rubber mats, windshield posts, and additional extra parts. An honest, accessible early TR3 ideal as an entry-level driver or restoration project.
This 1956 Triumph TR3 is a desirable early "Small Mouth" model, represented as Stock #2750. The vehicle was held in long-term storage for many years before being recently brought back to life and recommissioned. Upon recommissioning, the mechanical components were returned to functional order, with the engine starting easily and running smoothly, and the gearbox, clutch, and braking system functioning properly. The chassis frame remains solid. Previous owners performed patch repairs on the floor pans where rust was present. The car is now offered as an accessible, running-and-driving classic driver or an ideal starting point for a full restoration.
