now that's the way to drive the TR3! Drift into corners like its made to do. One of the quickest in corners in its days. And the tr2 won the first Macau grand prix. Beautiful car!
I enjoyed this video and understand what people are saying below. That said, this owner fits the car, just needed an old racing helmet and goggles to complete the look! You could see the intensity in his face, every shift with a purpose, I felt like I was sitting right there in the car. Its all about driving a slow car fast and captured right here, thanks Petrolicious!
Filmed in France, great! My country! A super fast daddy! :-)) It's located in "Alsace", near Germany. And, as we say in France for the music (it's working too for video): "If you think it's too fast, maybe you're too old!" :-) But, the man who drives the TR3A is always young! Great video, thank you!
Oh man, I love Tues mornings. thanks to petrolicious I get to wake up to a great video of someone properly driving a quintessential British sports car.
The best 2:15 of total information for the senses sans the smell from British oil or feel of brisk morning air. Love the style of filming with quick segments filled with detail which lead me into 4:30 of pleasure just to review the smallest details, well done once again.
This was my father's first car he bought used with his, at the time, life savings, and his was also black. His had a failed 2nd gear syncro and a Kool-Aid bag in the gas tank, that caused many hours of debugging with replaced fuel pumps, and guesses about hydraulic lock. One mechanic working on the car (to find the fueling issue) leaned on the taillamp, and the glass lens popped out of the gasket, smashing on the ground. The cut down doors were great fun, allowing them to drag Coke cans on the road throwing sparks (tin cans back then). When he came back from a break from college (he kept the car at home), he asked my grandfather where his Triumph was. He responded, "I did you a favor and sold that piece of junk and got you a Valiant." :^o
both Austin Healey 100/4 and triumph tr3 had big four cylinders with 100hp.. The Healey's unitized construction and superior looks,make the tr3 look like a bottom fish ,in the styling department.And the tr3 as most of the Triumph sports car range had very old school ,separate chassis and body. But both had very torquey Big Fours.
Nice film. Every video doesn't have to be a ten minute story behind the owner of the car, etc. I suspect the editing was a result of the rough roads leading to an unfortunate amount of shaky cam.
While the visual style of this video is great I don't think it fits the car well at all. A Group B homologation special or an 80s hot hatchback would have been better matches for this.
Excellent insight! I look forward to seeing YOUR film which uses an appropriate car. It's been nine months, so I'm sure you've produced it by now, but I'm having trouble finding it... Any chance you could post a link? :->
Good video, I was surprised by the style. I love my Triumphs so this was a nice surprise. Liked the sound the most, not sure about the fast and choppy editing, maybe a little longer on each shot.
....I have been driving mine ('59') for 52 years....well maintained, NOT restored....Still haven't found one of those mirrors that attach to the windscreen frame...Starting to need one due to my age.. Drove through 2 winters in Northern Ontario with no sidecurtains (1970/71).....West coast, Canada (now)
Filmed by the UK Top Gear team?, show a little of nothing, half a second per cut, not for me, would rather hear the drivers story, how it came into his hands ect, and detail shots.
Lovely crisp photography.. as good as it gets. But, really.. other than getting wrapped up against the cold, it told us nothing. Worthwhile.. hmmmm.? WF
I feel like I am watching one of those action movies where you just see a bunch of close-ups of fists, shaky cam, and blurry motions, but can't really tell what is happening. I much prefer long, steady, and well planned shots.

LOVE IT !!! Funnest cars in the world to drive. Great Video
Making that Triumph appear fast...brilliant. Very nice car with a beautiful exhaust note.
The pure joy of driving, agree 100%.

Brings the memories flooding back. I had a TR-3B in the 60s.
Never has a TR3 looked so fast.
Why all the hate for this video? It's great. Its exciting. Nice change from the long winded back in the day stories (which I also enjoy).
I liked it, and nice job reimagining the TR3 as a handful, which it can be if prepared well and driven hard.
One of the very best "Petro" videos ...

That guy is... Real deal man! 😍
the Camara work makes the car seem faster and more dynamic then it actual is also stock breaks are really good
This was an interesting and aggressive film style for a car that is typically seems so "smiley" and cute! I really liked this.
Oh man, I love Tues mornings. thanks to petrolicious I get to wake up to a great video of someone properly driving a quintessential British sports car.
This was fantastic. Absolutely lovely.
great caracter, great filming
I loved the detail in the sounds of this video... It just needs that sound of the car driving on a crunchy pebble drive.
I like these short movies!
So the TR3 might be slow, the guy driving is using the car as intended and is enjoying every minute.
It's the sound of the 60's, right there!

beautiful car , great video !
TR3 - 2 litres of growly low-slung ultra coolness.
Great little vid. Thanks
love it.
Way to be willing to put up something different! Good work.
THAT's the way to drive an oltimer! B-)
Variety is the spice of life.
Thanks! This short film reminded me of going to brunch with my uncle in a way words couldn't have. :-)
came back to enjoy this one this morning....one of my favorite 'petrolicious' of all time
It's nice to see a short film instead of a documentary once in a awhile :)
Well done! Sometimes, no words are needed. You managed to make a good video even if I guess the guy was not ready to talk.
This editing was amazing ! Keep it up guys 👌 This coffee series is great !

Just like the old movie action scenes. Love it. Also good to see a chap enjoying his car and not sticking it in a garage as a static display.
I really enjoyed this video, definitely much different to the normal ones posted. but I loved it!
Small engines and skinny tires, what a great combo!!
I like it... don't get me wrong... especially the sound... BUT... I prefer the story behind the car and the owner... But I like it :)
Great edit and perfect sound design. A lot of work went into this early morning shot of caffeinated goodness.
Nice! Enjojed the style and loved the sound.
Great flimwork! Like a one car, car chase!!
another editing masterpiece, beautiful!
Awesome video! Ditto on the car, driver, creativity and editing! Added to my favorites.
Great video
Why so much hate? What i see is a man, getting in his car, and having a good time. Whats so wrong with that?
Almost half a million subscribers ! Congrats, you surely deserve this and even more ! Cheers Petrolicious
BAM BAM BAM! NON STOP! keep it going man. It is the urge we want to see!
Incredibly expressive style, I would unsubscribe if every video were like this but as a one off it was a refreshing change.
This looks like Southern California!
I wish I could live in California! It's the BEST!
Alsace French/German border.
Built to be driven...
This is how a sidescreen TR should be driven. Currently restoring two of them, hope they will drive as good as this one.
both Austin Healey 100/4 and triumph tr3 had big four cylinders with 100hp..

The sound is extraordinary, love it.
Strangely aggressive editing though.
I love a car channel that features cars instead of an overweight retired comedian.
Lol 00:32 the guy looks like some movie character who's first born just got killed and he's about to go on some murderous revenge rampage.
Ahaha I agree, it's my dad !
Quelle chance!
Having owned a couple of TR3A's it only makes me want to have another one. Buy yeah, a story would have made it better.
Another beautiful film! I guess I'll have to stick to my own style :P
While the visual style of this video is great I don't think it fits the car well at all. A Group B homologation special or an 80s hot hatchback would have been better matches for this.
Yea races existed before the 80s and the 3 was very successful. Sorry to burst your "we invented the world" trip..

Shot in France, Alsace, on the road to the Grand Ballon. Very nice.
C'est beau l'Alsace :)

There needs to be enough time for ones eyes to move across the lines of the body.
Which camera's do you use to film this ?
Love your work !!!
I liked the intro and the close ups, but the shakey action shots make it hard to really appreciate the car.
Le grand ballon
Loved some scenes, but yeah this cars deserve elegance not fast a furious scenes
2 minute film has more jump cuts than an entire Top Gear episode.
BRUTAL acceleration from the MIGHTY TR-3. Truly a tower of power...hmmm
Awesome vid - sometimes just the car do the talking.
Makes me want to go D R I V E
You don't have to be a critic all the time.
It's amazing what film can do for a car hitting 40 mph.
I love Petrolicious but this edit gave me a headache. Too much jerkiness.
It wasnt his car... a real TR3 owner doesnt use the external door handle. reaches in for the pull cable..
Le pilote a du trouver plus excitant de regarder le vidéo que la conduite même de la Triumph
Sick.
why did my grandpa sell this thing back in 2014😭
01:07 Wait... Did he stop to fart? By the way, I love the fact that he's driving the wheels out of the car.. .
Filmed by the UK Top Gear team?, show a little of nothing, half a second per cut, not for me, would rather hear the drivers story, how it came into his hands ect, and detail shots.
God the editing on Top Gear drives me insane
Something's are better left unsaid....
Holy shit a Triumph with no rust and leaking pipes!!!! That's a miracle!!!
Can't help the feeling this film needs a bad guy chasing in tow
This man drives like a loonie and I own a TR3A too.
Der Anfang hat mir sehr gut gefallen, die Schnitte danach finde ich viel zu schnell, schade.
anyone know what camera this is filmed on
Based on the screaming tires and body lean, that was not a leisurely Sunday drive.
The fate of the elderly
Lovely crisp photography.. as good as it gets.
But, really.. other than getting wrapped up against the cold, it told us nothing.
Worthwhile.. hmmmm.?
WF
Quelle est votre matériel vidéo ??
"This would have been better with subtitles!" - People
Humph! Okay then...
Nice intro, where's the video?
What's with the compass?
Is this a commercial for Triumph?
Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash....arrrrrgh! Stop for a second!
You FINALLY have a video about a Triumph but it's 2:15 and there is nothing about the car or the story of the owner. Also, what was this video?
I feel like I am watching one of those action movies where you just see a bunch of close-ups of fists, shaky cam, and blurry motions, but can't really tell what is happening. I much prefer long, steady, and well planned shots.
well that was different..
Tower of Power?
100 bhp.. w.a.p.
also, the body roll on this thing looks terrifying!
very action movie chase-esque... perhaps a little over the top.
