Triumph TR3 with FIVA PASSPORT

TRIUMPH – 1956 TR3 with FIVA Passport

This car was sold by Premium Classic Cars. just over a year ago. following extensive restoration work done in our workshops here in Suffolk during the Autumn and Winter of 2011.

This TR3 from 1956 is fantastically original. stunning on painted wire wheels in matching body colour and with correct Period blue interior and beautiful matching navy blue Mohair weather gear. including custom Tonneau and navy blue restored period correct side screens. a car that turns heads every where it goes. This car fitted with the extremely rare period finned grill a rare car indeed. With a well documented history file the provenance is excellent and the investment potential extremely well underwritten.

This car has a number of highly desirable “Extras ” must haves for those planning an assault on the Mille Miglia or indeed any of the worlds leading classic car events. or which the TR3 is so well suited.
