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.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
"“Tastefully Done” is a line used in moderation within the automotive world. This ultra fine 1974 BMW 3.0 CS exemplifies this description while exhibiting both an artistic and powerful image. With only 27,088 miles on its clock, this one of a kind BMW provides you with a limitless time frame for driving this classic. Located in Delray Beach, it has turned many a heads making people smile; just imagine having full access to this feeling."
Made between 1968 and 1982, the third generation or C3 Corvette has got to be the longest-running era in Chevy’s Corvette. Over 500,000 units were sold during this time, making it one of the best ways to enter classic Corvette ownership. This fine specimen from 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a worthy candidate if you’re interested. Hailing from Aurora, Colorado, it’s got just 3,000 miles on its rebuilt 350ci engine and automatic gearbox. Plus, there’s a whole list of new and replaced parts that have been installed, bringing this Corvette to a whole new level in terms of condition. You definitely won’t regret getting your hands on this car!
