Guest afflora Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I have just been given a 59 TR3 and a 60 TR3. Both are completely disassembled and one was to be the parts car for the other. I have to go and pick them up but was wondering where there is a similar BB for TR3's in the US and where can I get a manual for the TR3. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Gerry McGahan Cypress, TX Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GDalzell Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Gerry, I'm doing up a 58 TR3A which its an ex Texas car. I'm in touch with a few others who are in various stages of restoration. We correspond with problems and ideas. If you would like to join in the chat, drop me an email. Regards, Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clive Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 ...TR3a's... Small (very small) point of fact... Triumph never added the "A", the badges still say TR3... so technically... OK OK... nit pickling... not like me normally... but... Sorry! (Ducks to avoid flying hub cap, bumper, and brick) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclepete Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Dosn't say Triumph on the badge either so technically ...... OK then Clive! A Triumph TR3 1958 model. Better now! TR3a makes getting the bits easier. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Elliott Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Just to set the story clear. I bought my TR3A brand new in May of 1958 and the purchase order reads TR3. You are right, the Triumph factory or Sales Offices never called it a 3A. We the owners on the street called it a 3A to differentiate it from the 1956-57 TR3 - and the name stuck.
