1960 Triumph TR3A Roadster for sale by owner who’s owned the car for 13 years and has maintained it meticulously from the date of purchase to make certain it is in excellent condition mechanically, which will be to the benefit of the next owner who will be able to get in it and drive with no concerns about anything mechanical. Problems with classic cars seem to accompany them when purchased - you pay for the car and then have to open up your wallet and start paying for things that are wrong with the car to the tune of thousands of dollars - and that won't happen in this case. More than $20,000 has been spent on this car by the current owner to make certain it is sound mechanically, with all service records available to the next owner to show that the car has been well maintained since the date of its purchase on July 21, 2003. This car is an extremely clean every day driver that can be relied upon to get you where you want to go, with upgrades that include rack and pinion steering that replaced the old antiquated gear steering that the factory put in these cars that in later years have tons of play in the steering wheel which takes away some of the fun in driving them. This TR3A handles so beautifully it feels like it has power-steering, no play in the steering wheel. It has front disc brakes that make for quick stopping, shoulder harness seat belts for added safety, upgraded halogen headlights for better night visibility, and a third tail light so people can see you braking rather than relying on the two small taillights ... and though it’s not needed as this car never overheats, it has a fan switch under the dash to make for quickly cooling the engine in case you decide to climb Pikes Peak in the summer. The inline 4 cylinder original engine purrs like a kitten with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive that adds a fifth gear for highway cruising. All the gauges work, and the 53,444 miles on the odometer are believed to be original. The color of this car is sunset red, the official TR3A red in 1960. It has wire wheels that set the car off, a very clean black interior, a like-new top and side curtains as well as a tonneau cover. This is a very solid car with floor-pans and frame rails in great shape. Triumph only made 58,000 of these cars, and unfortunately there are only 10,000 of them left on the road today with that number decreasing every year as many are now being shipped overseas by collectors and are thus becoming more and more scarce, so this makes for a good investment for the next owner as the numbers continue to decrease and the cars continue to go up in value. We believe this TR3A is among the cleanest and certainly the most reliable offered, so if you’re looking for a red 1960 Triumph TR3A you can stop looking ... you’ve found your car. You can own it for $59,900. Call 310.872.7461 or email wcriead@gmail.com and learn more from the owner. VIN: TS60919L
