About this car

The TR2 was Triumph's first TR sports car to reach production, a 1,991cc four-cylinder roadster that gave the marque a serious foothold in the post-war sports car market. This 1955 example is a UK-supplied car, first registered in October 1955 and finished in black.

It has had a full body and chassis restoration and was later shown at concours events around the country, including the Benson and Hedges event. It remains to standard specification, with recent additions by T R Bitz of a stainless steel exhaust manifold and exhaust system, electronic ignition and an electric cooling fan.

The odometer reads 4,535 km, and the page lists five previous owners and an MOT valid to October 2027. The car has been known to the dealer for more than 20 years.
