Two exciting cabriolets available at auction this August!

BOTH CARS WILL BE SOLD FROM 12:00 NOON ON AUGUST 3RD 2022.

LOT 250 - Triumph TR3

 

1959 Triumph TR3 Sports Car, XUU 631. Chassis Number T555584, 1991ccs four-cylinder OHV with a four-speed gearbox. This car has been in the same ownership since the mid-1970s and was restored by this owner with a colour change from blue to white at the time. The vehicle looks basically complete and its appearance belies the fact that it seems relatively solid. Obviously, in 'Barn Find' condition, it will require a full restoration no doubt but could become a desirable traditional British sportscar of some significant value. The vehicle is recorded on the TR register but with limited history.

Currently showing 89,000 recorded miles. The current MOT expires 05/07/23.
