BRITISH SPORTS CAR WAITING TO BE RESTORED. This is a 1957 Triumph TR3 and will make a great restoration project. The original color was orange.

Some work has been done including fiberglass floorboard, cosmetic work to the wood dash inserts and body work. The vehicle has been kept in a shop/garage. The mileage is unknown. We have title for the vehicle. The VIN on the Title is TS19191E which is the Engine number.

This is a 1957 Triumph TR3. Only 13,377 TR3's were produced and approximately 1,700 are thought to remain throughout the world today.* This is a huge find and will make a great restoration project. The original color was orange and purchased by my father in November of 1986 in western Oklahoma. The vehicle has been kept in a shop/garage ever since. The original intent was to restore the vehicle cosmetically and bring to modern mechanically. Therefore much of the "cosmetic" components of the vehicle were saved while mechanical, namely engine/transmission, were trashed. The following components that were saved include but not limited to the windshield, front seats, headlights, exterior trim and hub caps. Mechanical components include but not limited to the the gauges, gas tank and convertible top hardware. It currently houses a Nissan engine and transmission. Other work performed over the years includes a fiberglass floorboard and trunk, cosmetic work to the wood dash inserts and body work. Since much of the mechanical components have been removed, the mileage is unknown. We have title for the vehicle. The VIN on the Title is TS19191E which is the Engine number. Since we no longer have the Engine, I've included the Chassis number: TS18944L.
