Wind Back Time
Triumph TR2 1953
Specifications
Description
Forever synonymous with the TR range of sportscars, the Triumph marque was in a state of flux when the first of that famous line was introduced in 1953.
From that point, it has never looked back and yet had it not been for the TR series – and most notably, the TR2 that started it all off – Triumph as a marque could well have died out long before it did. The success of these sporting roadsters also saw the marque become the dominant partner of the Standard-Triumph concern.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Concours!
- Faster than a Healey and cheaper too.
- Chrome Wire Wheels

- Fully Restored Classic – Restoration started in 1994 and was completed around 1997. Immaculate Condition.
- The tan upholstery is all leather and the hood and curtains are in excellent condition.
- Drives tight and shows no faults at all. It has been extremely well looked after.
- Dark green is not a forgiving colour when it comes to showing flaws in bodywork and there is no sign of anything amiss here.
- The very torquey engine starts instantly and runs beautifully.
- The four speed gearbox with a delightful short throw gearshift is quick and precise, the synchros all work perfectly and the car seems to beg to be driven in an enthusiastic manner.
