Triumph TR3

I photographed this car at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992 where it took part in the HSCC Classic Sports Car Championship race.

It's Mike Reason's 1959 Triumph TR3, a car sometimes known as a TR3A because the wider grille on the later models make it look a different vehicle to the original TR3. The original Triumph TR3 was produced between 1955 and 1957 with a 1,991cc straight-4 engine, and this later version from 1957 to 1962 with the 1,991cc engine, but with the option of a 2.138cc engine from 1959. The programme of the event says that this car has an engine of 2,187cc.

On 10 August 2015 I showed photographs of a Triumph TR2 and the original TR3.
