| Comments: | 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´. However the cars were not badged as such and the ´TR3A´ name was not used officially,as is evident from contemporary sales brochures.[13] The ´TR3A´ was built between 1957 and 1962.
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). The total production run of the ´TR3A´ was 58,236. The TR3A was so successful that the original panel molds eventually wore out and had to be replaced. In 1959 a slightly modified version came out that had raised stampings under the bonnet and boot hinges and under the door handles, as well as a redesigned rear floor section. In addition, the windscreen was attached with bolts rather than the Dzus connectors used on the early ´A´ models.
The Triumph TR3 was the first production car to include standard disc brakes, which were continued on the ´TR3A´ facelift. The car was known for its superior braking ability, making it an autocross favourite.
