Summary:
Used 1962 Triumph TR3
Location:
Sterling Heights, MI
Description:
It âs manufacture to 1960. It was sold and thus titled in 1962. At one point the engine and transmission were removed and one from a TR4 was installed. So now it âs got the larger bore engine and fully synchronized 4 speed transmission. It âs also got Stromberg carbs instead of SU, which were rebuilt and polished. The engine runs great and pulls strong. Transmission is smooth and engages pretty well. The throwout bearing makes a little noise at idle, but it has made that noise for 20+ years and it hasn ât gotten any louder. The rear end is quiet, though axle seals need replacing as grease leaks out a bit and gets in drum. All gauges work. Horn and turn indicators work, though indicators don ât cancel and have recently begun to spin around so must have lost a lock ring or something. Oil pressure is great, 40-50 pounds at warm idle. Brakes are so-so: They stop but are a bit mushy. Hydraulics were rebuilt during restoration and fluid switched to Dot5 synthetic, so no need to worry about losing paint during a leak. Temperature holds fairly steady at cruising speed. Stop and go traffic on 80+ degree days gets it running hot, so that should be addressed. Radiator is original and has inadequate original fan also. Car is still positive ground with generator, regulator, points and all that. Generator discharge light on dash stays on most of the time and has been getting worse so generator needs a rebuild. I just put it on trickle charger while stored. Battery is around 10 years old, but still hold a nice charge. Tires are over 20 years old, but still lots of tread and not much visible dry rot. This is a testament to low miles and garage storage. Still, I wouldn ât trust the tires for long trips. Wheels are standard steel with shiny TR3 hubcaps. Interior was fully freshened during restoration: New carpets, leather seat kit installed, including rear jump seat and new door panels. It still looks great and is a pleasure to sit in... Still available at ListedBuy!
