It was then sold by well known TR specialist Ken Mumford to the current owner Mr John Murphy who owns a Jaguar Parts business in Coventry in November 1991. Unfortunately, as is not uncommon with USA cars, nothing is really known of its life in America until it was imported back from the USA in 1991. The TR3 was also the first production car to include front disc brakes as standard and was known for its superior braking ability, making it a real Rally Car favourite.Īccording to the Standard Motor Company Limited's Register, this beautiful Triumph TR3A - Chassis No: TS 22210L was built in Coventry on Tuesday 24th September 1957 between 7.30am and 2.00pm and was a LHD car which was despatched to a Triumph dealer in the USA. Total production of the TR3A between 19 was 58,236 making it the third best-selling TR after the TR6 and TR7 and it is estimated that only 9,500 of the original 58,000 built survive today.
