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.
Wearing the iconic color called British Racing Green, this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a car that you’ll want to own and drive with every bit of your soul. It’s a deeply emotive thing, as it embodies the spirit of freedom. The car is a mere 151 inches long and 56 inches wide, making a compact hatchback seem gigantic in comparison. Moreover, its open-topped nature really brings you closer to the environment. Of course, there’s a tan convertible top and door uppers to deploy if the weather gets nasty, but these things are really just meant to keep you dry for long enough until you return to the safe confines of your garage. Then, you can park the car and admire its eager-eyed headlamps, wire wheels, and squat tail, all features that define a British roadster to a tee. The two-seat interior of this 1962 Triumph TR3A is said to be new, and provides two seats in a color hue called camel. The seats are leather upholstered, but pretty close together, so pick your passenger wisely. Then, we’ve got new carpeting and new headliner as well. There’s no radio, though, so a Bluetooth speaker is your best bet for music. Not that you’re likely to want music when driving this car with gusto; the mere experience of driving it, accompanied by the engine’s song is more than enough to entertain.
Powering this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a rebuilt 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Factory specs tell us that the engine makes 100 horsepower when new, which, in this car that weighs less than 2,100 pounds, is more than enough to excite. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provide more than enough stopping power, and the steering, while unassisted, uses a Bishop cam system for a suitably engaging experience.

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.
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.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
Blending classic American muscle with unmistakable Corvette styling, this fully restored 1971 Chevrolet Corvette offers both power and timeless appeal. Finished in vibrant Red paint with a freshly refurbished Black interior, this example located in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivers authentic driving excitement, thanks to its rebuilt 396ci V8 and engaging manual transmission. With just 1,000 miles on the rebuilt engine, this Corvette stands ready for the road or your next car show.
Chevrolet offered the 150 model line-up from 1953 to 1957. The 150 was Chevy’s economy or budget offering, aimed at helping Americans acquire mobility in a cost-effective manner. Produced over two generations, the 150 was offered as a coupe, wagon or sedan. Today, we’ve got a wagon variant of the second generation 150, aptly named the 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman. This car comes from Belleville, New Jersey. The current owner informs us that included with the sale is some interior components that are all new and in their boxes, plus the car’s shop manual. With its simplistic mechanicals and quintessentially Fifties styling, this car is perfect for someone looking to buy their first classic car. Read on to discover what it offers.
