Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

The Triumph TR3 is one of the legends of British sports cars. This 1958 model features a beautiful combination of cream-white paint and red leather. The current owner has been carefully maintaining the vehicle since 2008: it was serviced as recently as May 2026, has a valid TÜV inspection through May 2028, and the engine and transmission are running flawlessly. TR3s are highly popular among collectors and hold their value well. An authentic British classic for purists.

    Technik: Angetrieben wurde der TR3 von einem Vierzylinder-Reihenmotor mit untenliegender Nockenwelle, Hubraum 1991 cm³. Im Vergleich zu seinem Vorgänger, dem TR2, erhielt er größere SU-Vergaser, die die Leistung um 5 PS steigerten. 1956 wurde der Zylinderkopf modifiziert. Die Leistung stieg dadurch auf 100 SAE-PS. Das maximale Drehmoment betrug 160 Nm bei 3000/min; die Höchstgeschwindigkeit 170 km/h. Der TR3 hatte als Neuheit an den Vorderrädern Scheibenbremsen. Von den 13.377 produzierten TR3 gingen 10.032 Fahrzeuge in den Export. Ein Großteil der Modelle wurde in die USA exportiert. Lediglich 1286 Exemplare mit Rechtslenkung blieben in Großbritannien. Weltweit haben noch 1.700 TR3 überlebt, davon fast 900 in den USA und rund 600 in Großbritannien. Das Basismodell des TR3 kostete £ 650. In Deutschland war er 1961 für 9.155,– DM erhältlich. Der Durchschnittsverbrauch des Wagens lag bei etwa 10–12 Liter Benzin pro 100 km.
