Triumph Tr3A
1959 Triumph TR3 Roadster Description:
Selling my 1959 TR3A Racer.
As they say, long hood, unique curves, and those lovely little doors. The TR3 is a stylish roadster that provides an authentic vintage British motoring experience.
Car built and raced in Calgary Canada fromthe early 90 to 2001.Used as street legal since.
I have it since 2013. I drive it on the weekends and to the local TTR meets plus some recreational track days.
Car sounds like a bear, pulls strong and corners like it's on rails. The most fun I had in any car, on and off the track.
Wins in almost any car show she appears in. Some trophies and matching racing helmet goes with the car.
Car comes with un-restored side screens, and spare parts.
The TR3 had an older complete nut and bolt, frame off restoration to anaward-winning conditionthat still holdsbeautifully to this day.
Frame:When the body was off, gussets were welded into the frame to strengthen it. Less twisting and flexing.
Suspension: Largest leaf spring was removed and de-cambered the rest to lower the rear.
The front aluminum spacers above the coil springs were left out to lower the front.
Upgraded front sway bar.
Brakes:Stopping this car was never an issue. A future upgrade will be to fit it with a Wilwood master cylinder.
Transmission and Clutch:Upgraded to a full synchro out of a 1975 TR-6. Never had a problem.
Wheels:Fitted with American Racing repro's.
Engine:Absolutely every moving part on this engine was weighed and balanced.
The head was shaved, ported, and flowed.
The header was also flowed to match the head.
87mm pistons = 2187cc
Buyer will get additional specs, cam info, "?¦
Radiator was rebuilt with larger tubes to increase the flow.
Hood louvers where added to further cooling the engine.
Rollbar: As you can see, Cross bar and door bars where removed. Have them somewhere, will try to find them.
