FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at one of the most prestigious classic car show events on Long Island this year I came across this mint condition 1959 Triumph TR3 Convertible in a great looking apple red color and with amazing spoke wheels that really stuck out. The front fender was give the car that sporty look by being high in the front and coming down across the door and meeting the rear fender. Both fenders were over sized for the wheels they were covering. The front of the car had a very small grill and the name of the car written right above it. On top of the front fenders sat the side view mirrors. The car was one of the highlights of my day at this always fantastic car show in Old Westbury Long Island.

The Triumph TR3 is a British sports car produced between 1955 and 1962 by the Standard-Triumph Motor Company of Coventry, England. A traditional roadster, the TR3 is an evolution of the company�s earlier TR2 model, with greater power and improved braking. Updated variants, popularly but unofficially known as the "TR3A" and "TR3B", entered production in 1957 and 1962 respectively. The TR3 was succeeded by the Michelotti-styled, mechanically similar Triumph TR4.
The rugged �sidescreen� TR, so named for its employment of removable plexiglass side curtains, was a sales and motorsport success. With approximately 74,800 TR3s sold across all variants, the model was the company�s third best seller, behind the TR7 (111,500 units) and TR6 (94,500 units) models. [7] The Triumph was campaigned in races, hill climbs, and rallies across Europe and North America, with several outright, team, and class victories to its credit.
