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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
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?
