an increase of 5hp over the TR2 thanks to the larger SU H6 carburettors fitted and the addition of a 'high port' cylinder head and later with an enlarged manifold with the introduction of the TR3A in 1958.
The 'Wide Mouth' TR3A was introduced in 1958 updated with various changes including a full width radiator grille and this facelifted model was commonly referred to as the Triumph 'TR3A', lthough this was an unofficial referral. It soon gained a much wider following from its predecessors the TR2 & TR3, eing much improved and more civilized thanks to better seats, roper door handles and other improved interior refinements. Marked by a full width stamped grille it was respectfully referred to as the 'Wide Mouth' in contrast to the earlier 'Small Mouth' TR3. The TR3A offered sparkling performance at a very competitive price and enjoyed a long production run with buyers and enthusiasts still clamoring for it even after the introduction of the TR4 in 1961. It has been estimated that only some 9,500 of the original some 58,000 models built survive in the world today. It proved to be one of the most ubiquitous sports cars of the late 50's and early 60's and enjoyed a long string of competition successes with its thoroughly British character ensuring it an avid enthusiast following that continues to this day,

building on the enviable legacy of the TR2, he TR3 enjoyed much success in international motorsport competition with the car being known for its superior braking ability, aking it an autocross favorite. The TR3A is often seen in Vintage and Production racing today with the TR3A, espite being almost 50 years old, till competitive in the E-Production class of SCCA .
The TR3A has since received the coveted certified 'Milestone Car' status recognition by the 'Milestone Car Society' of post war cars (1945-72) who judged their cars in five categories; styling, ngineering, oadability, erformance and innovation and craftsmanship. A Milestone car had to be superior to its contemporaries in at least two of these categories.
Without a doubt this is one rare piece of British motoring history - a beautifully restored example for any Triumph TR enthusiast or simply any classic British sports car lover to enjoy today!
