1960 Triumph TR3A

About this car

Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is excited to digitally present this 1960 Triumph TR3A that represents the pure, analog driving experience that defined classic British roadsters of the era. Finished in striking Silver Blue Metallic over a black vinyl interior, this TR3A combines timeless styling with engaging mechanical simplicity and an unmistakable vintage character. Power comes from a 1991cc inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission operated through a traditional floor shifter. The car retains its factory rear axle configuration along with upper and lower control arms up front and a rigid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs in the rear, delivering the authentic driving dynamics enthusiasts expect from a period-correct Triumph. Braking duties are handled by front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while the 15-inch wheels are fitted with 165/HR15 tires and classic knock-off hubs. Included with the vehicle are the original knock-off hammer and hand engine crank, adding to the car’s originality and collector appeal. The cockpit features bucket seats, front seatbelts, a 5-digit odometer, and the unique side door pull cable assemblies characteristic of early Triumph roadsters. Additional equipment includes a manual convertible top, side skirts for the top, rear luggage rack, tonneau cover, rear boot cover, and a black vinyl soft top. An original coachworks metal tag remains in place, further supporting the vehicle’s vintage authenticity. A red kill switch has also been installed for added safety and convenience. This 1960 Triumph TR3A presents as a well-equipped example of one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars—offering classic open-air motoring, unmistakable styling, and the raw driving engagement that made the TR series legendary.
