Offered from the Anthony Hamilton Collection is, without doubt, one the finest TR3As available anywhere today and a past Autoglym Gold Champion in the nineties. It was re-imported from California in 1988 with the intension of creating the ultimate Concours-winning Triumph TR3A and that appears to have been the result.

The Northern TR Centre were entrusted with the car's restoration, ideally using as many of the original parts as possible. It was converted to right-hand drive and the chassis was fully restored and refinished in two-pack gloss black to a very high standard. The engine was fully rebuilt including new liners and pistons and the crank reground. The immaculate paint finish is Dark Racing Green, the interior has been superbly retrimmed in BRG-piped Stone leather with matching carpets and all the instruments were rebuilt. The engine bay is immaculate, almost showroom fresh and the silver-painted, sixty-spoke wires are wearing a decent set of Michelin 155/15 tyres.

The quality of this restoration is remarkable and this benchmark 3A features in Bill Piggott's book,
