![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It stops too, on TR3 discs with Pete Cox XJ6 triple pot calipers which, he assured me, would bolt straight on, and they did ! And they are operated by the TR2 Lockheed twin m/cyl with no problems (and no servo !)Girling 10 in drums at the back, front Konis and a thickish a/r bar complete the set up. After a period of Austrian ownership between 1996 and. not as good as a std TR2 but still good having regard to the performance. Sold by the Works in 1959 to former driver Ron Goldbourn, a succession of owners ensued for this 1958 Triumph TR3A Works Rally Car before it entered long-term ownership with Martyn King, who painstakingly restored the car with great care to preserve as many original features as he could. This is a very nice car that runs and drives. Having owned numerous examples in my experience a good standard TR2 will do 0-60 in about 12.5 to 13 seconds without any brutal treatment, and is absolutely no slower than a standard 3/3A 4/4A.it just uses less fuel ! Beware of halfshafts breaking on a Lockheed axle though.Īxle ratio makes a big difference.my current TR2 has a Girling 4.1 to 1 axle which really improves acceleration.fitted with a balanced but otherwise unmodified 4A engine, 1 3/4 in carbs, ram pipes, 4 branch manifold, no mechanical fan(which saves a couple of BHP) and on areoscreens it will cover 0-60 in under 9 secs, accurately timed with a passenger on board.top gear acceleration with this axle is amazingly good, but even in o/d it is a little undergeared for motorway work at 22mph per 1000 revs.i may put the 3.7 back in it.It does 30 mpg overall as well. We just updated this car with a Rack and Pinion steering system that greatly improves the driving quality. ![]()
