The Triumph TR3B suspension was by double A-arms, manganese bronze trunnion, coil springs and tube shocks at the front, optional anti-roll bar, and with worm and peg steering. Unlike MGs of the same period, the steering mechanism and linkage had considerable play and friction, which increased with wear.

The rear was conventional leaf springs, with solid axle and lever shocks, except that the (box) frame rails were slung under the axle (underslung*). The wheels were 15 inch diameter x 4.5" width (increased from 4" after the first few TR2s), with 48 spoke wire wheels optional. Wire wheels were usually painted, either body color or argent (silver), but matte chrome and bright chrome were also available. It had front disk brakes (the TR was the first production car to feature these as standard equipment) and rear drums with no power assist.

It weighed 2,137 lb (969 kg) which was significantly more than the Morgan +4 and the "Bath Tub" (pre-911) Porsches, but not much more than the MGA and MGB. All except the Morgan, which shared the same engine, were substantially less powerful.

The Triumph TR3B is a sports car and was produced by the Triumph Motor Company (Standard Motor Company) in 1962. It followed the TR3A and was offered concurrent with the TR4, which started production in 1961. In fact, the TR3"B" was a special short production run produced in response to dealer concerns that the buying public might not welcome the TR4.

The TR3"B" is not actually labeled as such, but the model name is common usage. It had the body of the TR3A, but the 2,138 cc. engine and all synchromesh transmission of the TR4. The engine is a straight 4, push rod, 3 bearing, with wet liners. It had 9:1 compression and was very rigid. It was fitted with two H6 SU carburettors. It had 105 hp (78 kW) at 4,650 rpm and 172 N·m (127 ft·lbf) of torque at 3,350 rpm. It got around 20 miles per US gallon (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) to 30 miles per US gallon (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg-imp). The top speed was limited to about 110 mph (177 km/h). by the gear ratio, unless it had overdrive. Electrically triggered overdrive (Laycock-de-Normanville Type A) was available as an option and operated on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. Appearance was identical to the TR3A, and as such very similar to the TR3, except for a wider grill and door handles.

The Triumph TR3A is a Triumph Cars sports car and was built between 1957 and 1962 by the Triumph Motor Company in the United Kingdom.

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. This makes it the third best selling TR after the TR6 and TR7. It is estimated that only 9,500 of the original 58,000 built survive in the world today.

The Triumph TR3 was the first production car to include standard disc brakes, which were continued on the TR3A. The car was known for its superior braking ability, making it an autocross favourite.

The TR3A is often seen in Vintage and Production racing today. The TR3A, despite being almost 50 years old, is still competitive in the E-Production class of SCCA (Sports Car Club of America).

In June 1977, Road & Track magazine published an article titled "Driving Impressions: TR3A & TR250" in its 30th anniversary issue. It published a 0-60 time of 12.0 seconds, power output of 100 bhp (75 kW) at 4800 rpm, observed curb weight of 2,090 lb (948 kg) and fuel consumption of 28 miles per imperial gallon (10 L/100 km; 23 mpg-US).

The Triumph TR3 was a car built between 1955 and 1957 by Standard-Triumph in the United Kingdom, during which time 13,377 cars were produced, of which 1286 were sold within the UK while the rest were exported mainly to the USA. As of 2002 there were only 893 registered TR3/3a's on UK roads.

Although the car was usually supplied as an open two seater, an occasional rear seat and bolt on steel hard top were available as extras.

The car was powered by a 1991 cc straight-4 OHV engine which initially produced 95 bhp (71 kW; 96 PS) increasing to 100 bhp at 5000 rpm. The four speed manual transmission could be supplemented by an overdrive unit on the top three ratios electrically operated and controlled by a switch on the dash. In 1956 the front brakes changed from drum to disc becoming the first British series production car to be so fitted.

In 1957, it was replaced by an updated version, the TR3A.

The Triumph TR2 (Triumph 2 litre sports) was built between 1953 and 1955 by the Standard Motor Company in the United Kingdom, during which time 8,636 cars were produced. The DVLA revealed in 2002 that only 517 examples of this car remain on UK roads.

The Triumph TR2 used a twin SU carburetor version of the 1991 cc four cylinder Standard Vanguard engine tuned to increase its output to 90 bhp (67 kW).

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. Either wire or disc wheels could be supplied. The standard transmission was a four speed manual unit but overdrive was available on top gear as an option. Lockheed drum brakes were fitted all round. ~ Triumph TR2

The Cars was built using existing components with an engine from a Standard Vanguard, suspension from the Triumph Mayflower and a chassis from the pre war Standard Flying Nine. Problems arose when the Cars came to be driven as it was a poor handler, had a top speed of barely 80 mph (129 km/h) and was an overall disappointment to its early viewers, one of whom, Ken Richardson of BRM, described it as a 'death-trap.'

The Triumph Cars, which never went into production, was withdrawn, and the designs taken back to the drawing board, and a year later the new improved Triumph TR2 was unveiled.

It is unknown whether the original prototype exists today.

An emblem on the front screen was the triumph of character "Globe of the World," on the front fenders of the word "triumph" and a small "B" attached as Belgrove Monogram.

The TRX was not a roadster, but had a futuristic, luxurious body, therefore, corresponded more to the types of vehicles convertible or touring. The estimated cost of the product were high. In a basic version of the car should cost 975 British pounds. It would thus be the most expensive cars in the Triumph Cars model range has become.

A production in 1951 were offset by a lack of capacity for the production of the body. attempts to have Walter Belgrove, the body by Carrozzeria Touring or by Pininfarina produced failed. Since the public and the motor press the Triumph TRX negatively faced, the project was discontinued in silence.

From Triumph TRX only 3 prototypes were made. Two of them still exist today. The Triumph TRX never went into series production.
