The car is described as "good" in all areas after recommissioning. It had a body-off restoration in 1993, and some parts have been refreshed or replaced. However, it required recommissioning after being purchased by the vendor, indicating that it needed some work to be roadworthy again. It has some history from new, but it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition.

The Triumph TR3 of 1955 was a direct evolution of the TR2.
With it came minor styling revisions, a slight hike in power and the options of an occasional rear seat and a bolt-on steel hardtop.
The overdrive system for the four-speed manual gearbox was upgraded to work on the top three ratios, effectively giving a seven-speed gearbox.
In 1956 the front brakes were changed from drum to disc units.
A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition Desirably specified with wire wheels and overdrive, this rare RHD home-market TR3 represents a highly useable example of the much-loved model, with history from new.
Built in September, 1957, it was registered in 1958 by Dudley Cobbold Autos of Wimbledon, Surrey, before being sold to a gentleman in Epsom.
In 1978, it was shipped to Wichita Falls in Texas but was reimported in 1990, and a “body-off restoration” was commenced in 1993.
