HISTORY/PANORAMA
The Triumph TR3, introduced in the mid-1950s, is one of the British roadsters most iconic of the period, appreciated for its clean lines and sporty setup. Featuring a front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, and a lively temperament, it remains one of the most sought-after Triumph models among enthusiasts today. The specimen in the auction, a 1957 model delivered new in Germany and professionally fully restored a few years ago in the Netherlands, was later purchased in 2012 by an Italian enthusiast and has always been kept in efficient condition at a specialized workshop, also taking part in rallies and events.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork in black presents as generally solid, original, and well preserved, with minimal signs of wear from time and normal use. All external chrome is present, correct, and in generally good condition; the chromed spoke wheels are in excellent condition, a polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed.
The underbody is very solid, completely restored in the past, and no evidence of accidents has been found.
INTERIOR
The interior has been fully restored and is now in beautiful condition and usable. The dashboard is complete and original, including the rare instruments and the KM speedometer, original Motolita steering wheel in superb condition. It is equipped with the full cap covers, soft-top frame, side windows, and tonneau cover. A sanitization has just been completed.
MECHANICS
Mechanically, the car has the original matching-numbers engine, restored in the past and always kept in efficiency with regular spark checks and recent technical inspections carried out, last passed in 2019, 2021, 2023, 2025 without defects. The gearbox works as does the clutch, the gears shift correctly including the Overdrive, and the car has passed the valid technical inspection until February 2027, is road-legal and ready to use, a quick check before normal use is always suggested.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
