FOR SALE : FOR ALL INFO johnhparker12@gmail.com

1957 Triumph TR3A. Please read the comprehensive description below and study the photographs as they form part of the description. A very carefully considered and reluctant sale due to approaching my 70th birthday, and using my modern car (BMW X5) more regularly + my 2 motorcycles.

I am a member of the TR Register and Pembrokeshire Classic Car Club and have been an avid classic car owner and enthusiast for nearly 50 years.

I purchased PSY 117 as a 'restored' car from Classic Chrome nearly 2 years ago for £30K (Receipt Held -See Photo).

The colour combination is lovely in Old English White with Red Trim and Chrome Wire Wheels.

Upon taking delivery I wanted a reliable classic car that went as good as it looked. My cursory inspection of the car found a few issues mechanically and I didn't like the uncomfortable seats and faded instrument dials. I guess a number of the problems were due to being in a showroom for some time and no useage.

Consequently I commisioned a well respected Classic Car Specialist in Ceredigion (Cambrian Classics) to go right through the car from head to toe. This resulted in a significant number of works required (Detailed Invoices Held showing all new parts and labour involved) in order to meet my exacting standards!! The major one being the necessity for a complete engine rebuild due to bore scoring.

All in all, there are receipted works for around £17000 in parts/labour to bring it to the standard it is today.

I have preci'd most below, but may well have missed some bits!!!
