As of Q1 2011 there were approximately 826 licensed and 115 SORN TR3/3a's registered with the DVLA. A third person could get behind the seats, if absolutely necessary.Р”РЋ3,377 examples of the original 'pre-facelift' TR3 were produced, of which 1286 were sold within the UK the rest were exported mainly to the USA. The optional heater was poor and the shut-off valve was under the hood (bonnet). There are holes in the floor, with rubber plugs, so that the originally supplied jack might be used from inside the car, as did the Jaguar XK 120. It has a convertible top (hood) that snaps on and off and removable side curtains, allowing very low doors with padding to rest one's arm on. The TR3 is a true roadster, designed for sunny weather with removable rain protection. In 1955 the TR3 came out with more power a re-designed grille and a GT package which gave one a factory hard-top.

It was loved by American buyers, and became the best earner for Triumph. It had better looks a simple ladder-type chassis a longer body and a bigger boot. But the project was given the go-ahead by Black anyway. When it was revealed at the 1952 London Motor Show, the look of the car wasn't liked. The chassis was a shortened version of the Standard Eight's the engine was the Standard Vanguard 2-litre and a two-seater body was created around this. Sir John Black wanted an affordable sports car, so he initiated a prototype to be built. Triumph already made the Triumph Roadster, but it was out dated and under-powered. So he would have to build his own sports car that could compete with MG. It was also built because Sir John Black, the boss of the Standard Motor Company, made a bid for the Morgan Motor Company and failed.

The TR2 was designed to challenge MG in the sports car export market to North America. Lockheed drum brakes were fitted all round.Р”Р„s of Q1 2011 there were approximately 377 licensed and 52 SORN TR2's registered with the DVLA. The standard transmission was a four-speed manual unit but overdrive was available on top gear as an option. Either wire or disc wheels could be supplied. The body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis with coil-sprung independent suspension at the front and a leaf spring live axle at the rear. The car used a twin SU carburetor version of the 121 cid (1991 cc) four-cylinder Standard Vanguard engine tuned to increase its output to 90 bhp (67 kW). First of the TR series, the Triumph TR2 is a sports car which was produced by the Standard Motor Company in the United Kingdom between 19, during which time 8,636 cars were produced.
