Model history
The Triumph TR3 was redesigned in 1957 and produced in an upgraded version that became unofficially known as the TR 3A – a name that became established mainly in the American market. Visually, the new version stood out with a wider radiator grille, exterior door handles, and a lockable glove compartment. A tool kit was also included as standard equipment. According to various sources, between 58,236 and 58,309 units were produced in the four years of production, the majority of which – over 52,000 vehicles – were exported. This makes the TR3A one of the most successful models in the TR series after the TR6 and TR7.

Guten Morgen Haben Sie vielleicht noch die Import Papiere von dem Fahrzeug Mit freundlichen Grüßen Emil
Hallo Emil, die alten Importpapiere sind leider nicht vorhanden. Beste Grüße - Kickdown Team
Technik: Der TR3 wurde 1957 überarbeitet und dabei in erster Linie das Aussehen modifiziert. Der TR3A erhielt einen neuen, breiteren Kühlergrill, Türgriffe an der Außenseite, ein abschließbares Handschuhfach sowie serienmäßig ein Werkzeugset. Insgesamt wurden in den vier Jahren seiner Produktion 58.236 Exemplare gebaut. Eine andere Quelle geht von 58.309 produzierten Fahrzeugen aus, von denen 52.478 in den Export gingen. Der TR3A ist somit nach dem TR6 und dem TR7 das am besten verkaufte Modell. Es wird geschätzt, dass heute nur noch etwa 8.500 Wagen existieren. Das Einstiegsmodell kostete 2840 US-Dollar. Die Bezeichnung „TR3A“ wurde werkseitig nie verwendet. Das angehängte „A“ entstand umgangssprachlich für „Amerika“, da dieses Modell zum großen Teil in die USA ausgeliefert wurde. LG Tom
