Triumph was a brand of sports cars made by the Standard Motor Company of Britain. Renowned for their diminutive dimensions, perky engines and thrilling driving experience at relatively low speeds, British sports cars, particularly British roadsters from the fifties through the eighties, were a wonderful place for petrolheads to be. These cars were the very antithesis of America’s muscle cars, and proved that you could have a lot of fun without large, thirsty V8s and massive car bodies. The TR3 was one of Triumph’s best-sellers, and we’ve got a 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible up for sale right now. The current owner tells us that it’s received a new facelift, making it ready to be your faithful weekend drive companion.
Bright colors look best on British roadsters, and this Cherry Red 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible is a perfect example of that statement in action. With its wire wheels sporting new radial tires, it looks ready for fun, even if that fun means spearing down a windy two-lane road at speeds never exceeding 50mph. The car is just 151 inches long, 56 inches wide and 51 inches tall, so even a compact hatchback will look monstrous in comparison. The pert dimensions also mean that the car is very easy to place on tighter roads, and you can zip around with ease. Then, when you get into town, you’ll never need to fuss about finding a parking space large enough. Should the sun get too hot or a rain shower beckon, simply raise the car’s black convertible top, and you’re good to go. The interior of this 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible seats just two adults, and does so in a rather intimate fashion. That means you must choose your passenger carefully, or drive this car solo. Actually, solo is the best way to go about it. That way, you can drive it the way you like. There’s nothing extraneous to distract you, either. You’ve just got a steering wheel, a gear shifter, three pedals, plenty of gauges, and switches for the car’s lights and wipers. There is a locking glovebox and some door pockets too.
Under the stylish hood of this 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible lurks a perky 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox. The current owner says that there’s a full-width radiator for better cooling. Everything else is as pure and unassisted as possible, granting you the best driving experience you’ll find.

Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.

Triumph is one of those iconic British brands that left a lasting legacy under the British Leyland umbrella. Renowned for their TR series of spirited sports cars, the TR7 marked the final chapter before the brand was retired in 1984. With its bold wedge-shaped design, the TR7 made its debut in 1974 and remained in production through 1981. This particular example is a standout—an exceptionally preserved, one-owner 1976 Triumph TR7 with just 81,000 miles. Owned by the original enthusiast since new, it boasts a fully up-to-date maintenance history. Although it has spent its life in Michigan, this car has never seen winter roads or snow; instead, it was meticulously cared for each year—lifted onto jack stands, stored under a custom car cover, and its battery removed and kept on a trickle charger. As a result, it’s an outstanding opportunity for any collector or driving enthusiast looking to experience the joy of British motoring with a truly cherished classic that’s ready to turn heads and tackle your favorite backroads.

Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
