Although the facelifted TR3 is often referred to as the TR3A, it is badged as "Triumph TR3". However the cars were not badged as such and the "TR3A" name was not used officially, as is evident from contemporary sales brochures. In 1957 the TR3 was updated with various changes including a full width radiator grille and this facelifted model was commonly referred to as the Triumph "TR3A". 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. With approximately 74,800 TR3s sold across all variants, the model was the company’s third best seller in the TR range, behind the TR7 (111,500 units) and TR6 (94,500 units) models. The rugged ‘sidescreen’ TR, so named for its employment of removable plexiglass side curtains, was a sales and motorsport success. The TR3 was succeeded by the Triumph TR4, designed by Michelotti, and mechanically similar to the TR3. Updated variants, popularly but unofficially known as the "TR3A" and "TR3B", entered production in 19 respectively. A traditional roadster, the TR3 is an evolution of the company’s earlier TR2 model, with greater power and improved braking. Triumph TR3 A '59 1959 General description :
