Triumph TR2 Sports continue with only minor changes, although the Convertible was joined by a Hard-top (detachable fibreglass unit) version. Powered by a 1991-cc linered-down version of the Standard Vanguard 2-litre (2088-cc) engine. A Laycock-de-Normanville overdrive (on top gear) became available as an optional extra. The new TR3 was launched at London Motor Show.
Sedany Renown zostały wycofane z oferty w ubiegłym roku. Po zaprezentowaniu nowego Standarda Vanguard III, grupa Standard-Triumph wprowadziła wyraźny podział ról dla każdej ze swoich marek. Standard będzie sprzedawał samochody osobowe a Triumph sportowe roadstery serii TR. Na sierpniowym Motor Show w Londynie przedstawiono TR3, będącego poprawioną wersją TR2, którego sprzedano 8.628 szt.
