Show. Built on a prewar Standard chassis and sporting a dual-carb version of the Standard
Vanguard engine, this show car looked much like the TR2s and TR3s that later followed,
although rear body styling was quite different, with a more rounded, traditional look
featuring exposed spare tire.
Various continual developments, changes and improvements to both body and mechanical
specifications led to the TR3 model for 1956 and the TR3A version around 1958. Production
of the TR3 largely ended by 1961, replaced by the mechanically similar (but with much
more modern styling and comfort features) TR4. A small number (3,331?) of TR3Bs were built
for the North American market in 1962, largely to TR3A specification, although most of
these had the larger 2138cc engine and all had the all-synchro TR4 transmission.

This is one delightful British Classic Roadster. The exterior is black with
a black interior accented with white piping. The soft-top and soft-top frame boot are
both black and in great shape. On the exterior this TR3A is equipped with the
Center-lock wire wheels and 11" discs at the front and 10" drums at rear.
This cute little roadster is not a Trailer Queen, but extremely fun to drive
and appeals to any British Car fanatic.
