Yes, with that large grille it's a 1958+ TR3A. |

Hello, Girl. Welcome to IMCDb You know this very car, or is there some detail that makes it a 1960 rather than a 1958 version? |

It's my car, so yes, I know her well. My Dad was the second owner and it was sitting in the back of the garage when I turned 17. I've been driving her for decades. I believe the car is identical if it is a TR3A 1958-1962 and the year applies to sale date. So a TR3A can be placed in projects that date 1958 onward and be seen as a '50s or '60s car. This car has the NJ license plate "GIRL" and was Jersey Girl long before Springsteen came out with the song. Maybe he passed her on one of the many trips she's made to the Jersey shore, always with the top down, rain or shine. From Wikipedia, Triumph TR3A is a sports car and was built between 1957 and 1962 by the Triumph Motor Company in the United Kingdom and introduced in January 1958. The TR3A was a minor update from the TR3. The updates included the new wide front grill, exterior door handles, lockable boot handle and came with a full tool kit as standard (this was an option on the TR3). |
