Triumph TR3 History

From the London Motor Show of October 1955 to the last North American TR3B of 1962: how Standard-Triumph turned the TR2 into a sports car built for export, and kept it selling with disc brakes, a facelift and a bigger engine.

In the summer of 1952, by Karl Ludvigsen's account of 1956, Sir John Black, who ran the Standard Motor Company, came home from a visit to America with a target: "a fast yet cheap sports car for that specific market". The TR2 of 1953 was the first answer. The TR3, shown at the London Motor Show in October 1955, was the second, and for seven years it was built above all for export.

It was never a new car. It was the TR2 improved, then facelifted, then given a bigger engine, and its last version was built for North American dealers in 1962, after its successor, the TR4, had been announced.⁠source 1​source 2​source 3​source 4

Before the TR3: the TR2 and its engine, 1952–55

The TR series began with the 20TS, a prototype sports car shown at Earls Court in October 1952. Ken Richardson was brought in to develop it, and the result was the TR2 of 1953. By the time the TR3 replaced it, Motor Sport could say that the TR2 had "earned a great reputation in sports-car races and rallies without departing very far from standard form".

The engine came from further back. Ted Grinham, Standard's chief engineer, designed a four-cylinder engine with wet cylinder liners that could serve both the Ferguson tractors Standard built and the company's own cars. It went into the tractors from 1947 with an 80 mm bore and into the Vanguard saloon (sedan) in 1948 with an 85 mm bore. The TR used it with a bore of its own, between those two, which Motor Trend explained in 1957: the engine was "a warmed-up refinement of the Standard Vanguard mill with bore decreased through use of thicker wet cylinder liners to bring engine size into a more favorable racing class".

The TR3 arrives, 1955–56

The TR3 was on Triumph's stand, No. 123, at the London Motor Show at Earls Court in October 1955. From outside it was known by its grille, brought forward to the front of the mouth; under the bonnet (hood) there were larger carburettors and more power, and the table near the foot of this page sets out the rest. Motor Sport summed up its price:

The TR3 is priced at £25 more (£650 basic) than the TR2 but at an inclusive price of £921 19s. 2d. in this country, or £985 14s. 2d. in hard-top form with sliding windows, it is right at the top of the sports-car field in terms of value for money.

Motor Sport, November 1955

The first TR3 was TS8637, by the Vintage Triumph Register's list and Dwinger's; Rimmer's catalogue starts its list at TS8709, built on 7 October 1955, as its first production car. Standard-Triumph's American company announced the car that December, and in March 1956 Ludvigsen tested "their first TR3" for Sports Cars Illustrated. Standard had introduced it in London, he wrote, "to supplement the TR2", with the American market in mind; there it cost $100 more.

The power was rated differently on the two sides of the Atlantic. Standard-Triumph's British announcement gave the TR3 5 bhp more than the TR2; its American company quoted a higher figure from the start; and the "high-port" cylinder head fitted from engine TS12606E in mid-1956 brought the British rating up to the American one. No source read explains the difference, and the TR3's page gives each rating with its source.

In September 1956, from commission number TS13046, the TR3 gained Girling disc brakes at the front and a new rear axle. At the London Motor Show that October Motor Sport found the discs "at the unchanged price" and called the TR3 "one of the world's best-selling sports cars". The same show had a transparent TR3 as an exhibit. How the discs worked, and the claims made for them since, are on the TR3's page.⁠source 2​source 4​source 5​source 6​source 3​source 9​source 1​source 10​source 11

The TR3 in production, 1956–57

When Motor Sport went round the Canley works in the spring of 1957, TR3 bodies were arriving from Mulliners in Birmingham with their base frames welded in and their seats, screens and upholstery fitted; Standard made the hoods (soft tops), sidescreens and tonneau covers beside the line. The chassis were built on a line at right angles to the bodies, the axles came from Banner Lane and the Girling disc brakes arrived as complete units with their hubs. Every engine was run for about three-quarters of an hour on one of 28 Heenan & Froude test brakes and rejected if it did not "develop 74 b.h.p. or reach 3,500 r.p.m."; every finished car was driven about 32 km (20 miles) on the road.

So popular is the TR3, particularly in America, that 90 per cent. of the output is exported and there is now a three-month delivery delay in this country.

Motor Sport, May 1957

The competition department was in the old Service Department, where Richardson had three mechanics and eight TR3s on his books, besides four Standard Tens. In Britain, Standard's publicity manager, I. J. Penrice, had started a TR Owners' Club; in America the factory club, the Triumph Sports Owners Association, passed 5,000 members by September 1959. From 1957 it ran a "Triumph Rally of Europe", on which Americans flew to London, collected new TR3s at the airport and toured the Continent. Bill Boddy of Motor Sport saw "40 U.S. Triumph enthusiasts" taking delivery there in 1957. How the cars were sold in America is on the export markets page.

The testers liked what they drove. The Autocar tested a hard-top TR3 in Belgium for its issue of 11 January 1957 and admired its flexibility and its brakes, while warning that the back could sometimes slide on poor roads; Boddy, testing one for Motor Sport that summer, praised the disc brakes and found the steering slow to respond; and in America Motor Trend had already judged it good value for the money. Every test is on the road tests page.⁠source 8​source 12​source 13​source 14​source 15​source 16​source 17

The facelift, 1957–58

The last TR3 was TS22013, built in August or September 1957 (the Vintage Triumph Register and Rimmer differ), and the facelifted car began at TS22014 that September. It had a full-width grille, recessed "a la Ferrari", as Sports Cars Illustrated put it, outside door handles, overriders (bumper guards) and a boot (trunk) lid with a handle and a lock. Sports Cars Illustrated, testing an American car, also noted smaller headlamp bulges with sealed beams, the name spelled out across the bonnet and a fuller front bumper. Mechanically it was unchanged. The TR Register dates its public launch to January 1958.

No source read gives the factory's reason. G. William Krause credits the full-width grille of Michelotti's TR3 "Dream Car" of 1957 with inspiring it, and Boddy had suggested in July 1957 that new styling would help its sales in the dollar markets; neither is evidence of a decision.

The factory's advertising still called the car the TR-3. The American newsletter announced the facelift in December 1957 as the TR-3 for 1958; a year later its editors were calling the car the TR-3A, and Motor Sport was writing "TR3A" by November 1958. How the name took hold is on the TR3A's page.

America took to it. Standard-Triumph claimed second place in American sports-car sales by the end of 1957 and again for 1958, and in October 1958 its newsletter put TR3 production at 450 a week, up by 100. The works cars kept winning too: a Coupe des Alpes for Keith Ballisat and Alain Bertaut on the 1958 Alpine Rally, and 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the GT class up to 2,000 cc at Sebring (the racing page has every result).⁠source 5​source 3​source 18​source 4​source 19​source 16​source 20​source 21​source 22​source 23​source 24​source 25

1959–61: the peak, the bigger engine and the end of the TR3A

In November 1958 the American newsletter told owners what to expect of the next year's cars:

Yes, the 59's are out, and they look remarkably like the 58's. Despite frequent rumors to the contrary, the TR-3 will remain the same for 1959

TSOA Newsletter, November 1958

The change for 1959 was under the bonnet. Triumphs on the 1959 Alpine Rally ran in the class above 2,000 cc with "oversize sleeves resulting in a displacement of approximately 2200 cc", and that August the American newsletter promised owners the same in kit form, with a bore a little wider than the standard engine's. The TR Register says the bigger engine was optional from 1959. Motor Sport later called it "developed originally for the Alpine Rally"; it became the TR4's engine.

The TR Register calls 1959 and 1960 the peak production years. At the London Motor Show of 1959 Motor Sport reported that Canley had started a night shift "to cope with the orders for the TR3", and the price at the show was the same a year later. Changes to the body and trim for the 1960 model year followed at about TS60001, among them a windscreen (windshield) held by bolts, though the American newsletter told owners that the car looked no different.

Standard-Triumph itself was in trouble. Its management had failed to present a successor in time, Dwinger writes, and the company ran into financial difficulties; Leyland took it over in 1961 and imposed strict economies, but the TR4 went ahead. By December 1961 the American newsletter was calling Standard-Triumph International "a member of the Leyland group". The TR Register says that TR3A sales "dropped off dramatically in 1961".

When the last TR3A was built is not settled. The Vintage Triumph Register gives TS83572, built in October 1961, and the TR Register and the TR Drivers Club also end production that October; Rimmer gives TS82347, built in January 1962, and Dwinger TS82436, in January 1962. None of them cites a factory record.⁠source 23​source 4​source 26​source 27​source 12​source 28​source 29​source 30​source 31​source 6​source 5​source 3​source 32​source 33

The TR3B and the end, 1962

The TR4 was announced in September 1961, and Bill Boddy told Motor Sport's readers where it was going first:

Once the TR4 gets into production it will replace the TR3 but the entire initial production is reserved for the N. American market.

Bill Boddy, Motor Sport, September 1961

In America the TR3 was not withdrawn: that September the newsletter offered owners TR3s of the 1962 model year with "no waiting list". Why the factory went on with the old car is told two ways. The North American dealers doubted the TR4, by the TR Drivers Club's account, and asked for more TR3s, by Dwinger's; the Vintage Triumph Register points instead to the TR4's disappointing first sales, especially in the USA.

So Standard-Triumph built one more series of sidescreen cars, for North America only. The TR3B was a TR3A with the TR4's all-synchromesh gearbox (transmission): the TSF series, numbered TSF1 to TSF530 and built from March to September 1962, kept the TR3A's engine, and the TCF series, TCF1 to TCF2804, from May 1962, had the TR4's bigger one. It was built in Birmingham, not Canley, by Mulliners' subsidiary the Forward Radiator Company, as Rimmer and the TR Drivers Club record. In the newsletter's issues read, the name "TR-3B" appears once, in August 1962, when an owner had yet to choose between a TR-3B and a TR-4.

The last of them, TCF2804, was built in October 1962 by the Vintage Triumph Register's and the TR Drivers Club's dates, or in December 1962 by Rimmer's; Dwinger gives October in his text and December in his table.⁠source 28​source 34​source 32​source 6​source 5​source 3​source 35

How many were built

The production tables of Rimmer and Dwinger, and the TR Register's for the TR3 and TR3A, count each version separately, and their figures are on the TR3's, the TR3A's and the TR3B's pages, with every other figure in print. Together they come to about 75,000, by our arithmetic. With the TR2 the total is Dwinger's own figure for the four, which our sum matches. Of the TR3s and TR3As, all but a few thousand went abroad.

Two other totals of the time count different things. Motor Sport wrote in September 1961 that over 80,000 TRs of every model had been sold since 1952, nearly 55,000 of them in America; Standard-Triumph that same month spoke of "60,000 TR-3 drivers in the United States", which is more than Motor Sport's figure for every TR sold there. The company's claim gives no basis.⁠source 4​source 3​source 6​source 5​source 32​source 36​source 28​source 34

Before and after the TR3

The TR3 began where the TR2 ended, at commission number TS8637, and kept the TR2's chassis, body shell and engine. Motor Trend reported in October 1956 that several changes had been made in answer to owners, among them a softer ride.

ItemTR2, 1953–55TR3, from October 1955
GrilleSet deep in the mouthEgg-crate, nearly flush with the front
CarburettorsTwin SUsLarger twin SUs
OverdriveOptionalOptional, on second, third and top
Behind the seatsLess roomMore room; an occasional rear seat as an extra
BrakesLockheed drumsLockheed drums, then Girling front discs from TS13046

The TR4 that followed in September 1961 kept the separate chassis, the wet-liner engine, in its bigger size, and the front disc brakes, and changed almost everything a driver sees and touches: Michelotti's full-width body with wind-up windows, rack-and-pinion steering in place of cam and lever, synchromesh on all four gears and a front track about 100 mm (4 in) wider. The smaller engine stayed available for racing in the class up to 2,000 cc. Car and Driver pointed out that the TR4's gain in power amounted to the difference between a gross rating for the TR3 and a net one for the TR4, and its body from the windscreen back was the same as that of the works team's twin-cam Le Mans cars, the TRS. The World Telegram & Sun, as the American newsletter quoted it, put the TR4 at only about $150 more than a TR3.

TR-3 partisans need not lament the coming of the big 4. It is an addition to the line, not a replacement for the 3.

Car and Driver, October 1961

Between the two came the TR3 Beta, a wide-track TR3 prototype of about 1960 whose purpose is told three ways; and after the TR4's arrival came the TR3B, so that sidescreen TRs were still being built a year after the TR4 was announced.⁠source 5​source 2​source 1​source 17​source 28​source 37​source 38​source 39​source 32​source 40
