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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.

The 1969 Triumph TR6 Roadster is one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars, blending classic styling with a raw, engaging driving experience. Introduced as the successor to the TR5/TR250, the TR6 featured updated styling by Karmann while retaining the robust mechanical foundation that made Triumph roadsters so coveted among enthusiasts. This example, showing just 26,501 miles, presents beautifully in Signal Red and captures the essence of vintage open-top motoring. With its inline-six engine, manual transmission, and lightweight construction, the TR6 offers a pure, analog driving experience that has become increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1974 Triumph TR6 represents one of the final evolutions of Britain’s classic roadster formula—simple, mechanical, and built purely for driving enjoyment. With just 43,019 miles, this example stands as a well-preserved piece of analog motoring history, finished in the highly desirable Mimosa Yellow over a black interior. Known for its torquey inline-six and unmistakable styling, the TR6 became a favorite among enthusiasts for its balance of performance and character. This particular car retains its classic charm while benefiting from tasteful upkeep, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone looking to experience vintage open-top driving at its finest.
Ah, Triumph. One of those sadly defunct British sports car makers responsible for giving us some truly awesome pint-sized roadsters to drive enthusiastically. The British really got the whole less is more thing down to an art form during much of the 20th century. They perfected the recipe of small dimensions, modestly-sized but revvy engines and chuckable driving dynamics to a great extent. The Triumph GT6 was something a little more than your typical British sports car. For starters it was a proper, fixed-head coupe and it came with a straight six under the hood. That’s what we have for sale today, a 1973 Triumph GT6 from Clearwater, Florida. It’s got just over 33,000 miles, a 2.0-liter straight six, a manual gearbox and all the charm you’d expect from a classic British car. Why not make it your own, then?
