Condition

The car is described as a worthwhile restoration project. While it runs and drives and has some solid aspects like the engine compartment and a good hood, there is visible rust in places requiring panel and potentially floor replacement. The interior has had things done to it and trim may not be correct. It's described as an 'ugly duckling' needing significant work, aligning with an 'Above Average' rating that acknowledges wear and the need for moderate reconditioning.

Here is an example that presents an interesting restoration, it’s a left-hand drive Triumph TR3A that went to the US in 1960 and came back home in late 2025.

We use the word restoration, and it is, but it’s not as bad as it may look.

We have had a little look at the TR and it would appear to be quite solid.

The engine compartment is good with some newish parts visible.

There is rust in places and you will replace panels and maybe a floor panel, but fundamentally it would appear to be ok.

As we always say, please take a look to satisfy yourself about what you are about to take on.

The interior is in place, it’s had things done to it along the way and maybe some of the trim is not as it should be, however it appears to be ok, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.

The good thing is it is being offered at no reserve, now that’s a winner.

The TR sits on a set of white wall tyres, very much a US thing, and it has the original chrome centre caps, a rare find in themselves.

The hood...
