1960 Triumph TR3
The October 1955 London Motor Show unveiled the new Triumph TR3. It had ten more horsepower than the prior TR2 and was the first mass production car to recieve disk brakes. These cars were aimed at the youth market with more than 83,000 sold by the end of 1961. Six hundred were being produced a day but since the TR4 was on its way, production ceased by late 1961. Price shock was so great on the TR4 that Triumph was forced to put the TR3 back into production between March and October of 1962 for one last run. With 100 HP, the top speed of 109 MPH was easily reached.
