Highly Impressive 1960 Triumph TR3 A Roadster
New to our Benicia showroom is this very impressive 1960 Triumph TR3 A 2 Door Roadster with red exterior paint and a black interior.

Beautifully Maintained by Current Owner Since 1968
The current owner of this 1960 Triumph TR3 A Roadster purchased it all the way back in 1968 from the original owner and he informs us that he has enjoyed it sparingly over the past 50 years. This example certainly is not your typical neglected barn find since it appears highly original with maintenance receipts dating back decades to show its proper care. It comes with four factory hubcaps, a top with side windows. We can’t say for sure if the drivetrain is original but everything does look factory correct throughout.
Additionally, this 1960 Triumph TR3 A 2 Door Roadster shows average signs of wear for a survivor of this magnitude. The engine compartment in particular stands out because nothing has really changed except for some of the wiring and a few trim pieces. You’ll find that the interior is just as correct with a nice natural patina and the correct instrument cluster. There are some imperfections from aging, but then again many collectors would say that it only adds to this example’s charm. The body lines in particular are excellent.
Outstanding Original Condition Both Inside & Out
Overall, this 1960 Triumph TR3 A 2 Door Roadster is in beautiful original shape and still gets down the road nicely.

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
