What car is this?
My coworker is building houses on Kiawah and saw the car below. Looks British but the picture aren’t great.
I told my buddy, they collective knowledge here, will have an answer in 15 minutes or less. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739808039.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739808039.jpg |

I'm in the local British car club and I see a couple of these every week.

Can anyone name the make and model of the CD playing installed in the dash?

It’s not playing anything. Nothing electrical survives the curse of Joe Lucas.

(I know, it can be done, but it would take both hands to count the people I know who roasted brand new tape players in the 60s) |
The driver passed my buddy, then stopped down the street and got out to look underneath the car. Probably looking for car parts that fell off!

He was checking the oil. If it's dripping he doesn't need to add any yet. |

Be sure to tell your coworker it took one minute...

Give us a harder one.

Dad had one of those, white. He liked that he could put out a cigarette on the ground from the driver's seat

Got to love South Carolina.

Technically.....that's a TR3A (the wide-mouth grill being the primary visual difference). The TR3 had a more narrow grill that was set back under the T R I U M P H lettering and the badge. Brought a non-running TR3A home on a trailer for my 16th birthday.....rebuilt the motor, installed a new wiring harness, and learned about rust repair, Lucas electrics, and level-arm shocks.
Drove it as my High School car from 77-79. Was a better investment than my 84 3.2 (percentage wise), but with considerably less power and performance. SmileWavy Bought for $1200, maybe another $1500 in rebuild, and later sold it for $12,500. |
I had a 1957 TR-3A , same color, wire wheels and black interior back in High school,
not the best car for the Detroit area during the winter months most of my friends muscle cars. I could start it with the hand crank and I could reach the ground with a wooden match to light my cig. |

My dad had a '66 TR4A IRS when he was stationed at Pearl and we lived in HI from '74-76. White with red interior.
I always keep my eyes open for them, not something I see often. Exactly like this from what he has said:https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-triumph-tr4a-28/ |
3s are cool.
6s better. 8s are almost modern to drive - if you can stand the shape. Had a number of Rumfs over the years. All had bad electrics. |
I’ve had several TR6’s, but have looked at TR250 and TR 4’s with a new eye now.
|
My first car was a 1976 TR6 when I was a senior in high-school.

They didn’t make many and they command a premium over the 4A. A TR250 with a surrey top is one of the more attractive, usable Rumfs. |
