SUMMARY
Nicely restored early narrow grille TR3 with some desirable upgrades.
DESCRIPTION
- An early, narrow grille, TR3 imported from the States and first registered in the UK on 05/10/2005
- Subsequently fully restored and converted to right-hand drive with only light use since
- Finished in Pale Primrose and the body and paintwork continue to present well
- The interior is particularly impressive in Saddle Tan leather and edged Caramel carpets
- Upgrades include a desirable five-speed Ford Type 9 gearbox, rack & pinion steering, servo brakes and an alternator conversion
- The indicated mileage is 44,295 which may well be correct but can't be warranted
- Comprehensive history file with invoices for the work carried out. Recent oil and filter change
- This is a super example of the quintessential fifties Triumph sportster, in lovely condition but not too precious to stop you using it. Fitted with all the right driver's upgrades
