Triumph TR2 Longdoor 1954 - Overdrive - Restored For Sale
After several designs were assessed, the Triumph 20TS (Triumph Sports) prototype was presented at the 1952 London Motor Show, which was named the TR1. The car was built using existing components, but it was never a major success.
A year later, the improved design of the Triumph TR2 was revealed, which went into production. This simple, light car was fitted with a four-cylinder inline engine, increasing output to 90 bhp. On 20 May 1953, the TR2 set a new record in the class of up to 2000cc, attaining a speed of more than 200 km/ h.
The resulting publicity led to the creation of a Triumph Competition Department for racing, in addition to spectacular sales. The TR2 competed in the Mille Miglia, Monte Carlo, Liège-Rome-Liège, the Tulip Rally, the Coupe des Alpes, etc. in 1954 and 1955, taking 14th, 15th and 19th place in the legendary endurance race of Le Mans.
A total of 8, 636 TRs were produced, after which the Triumph TR3 replaced it in 1955.
Collection by Vermant has the pleasure of offering you this 1954 Triumph TR2. This is a desirable Longdoor model, with a 2. 0 litre, inline 4-cylinder engine, and an output of 90 bhp. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th speeds.
The TR was delivered to its new home on 19 June 1954 in Montreal, Canada. The ‘Signal Red’ TR2 has a brown interior and soft top, in addition to steel rims, a heater and 5. 50-15” tires.
The Triumph was shipped to Netherlands in 1995, after which it underwent a restoration that took 12 years in all. The body was completely stripped, welded, the panel gaps optimised for seamless dimensional accuracy! The restorers chose to go with the original colours.
The mechanics also underwent a complete overhaul. Some modifications were made to improve comfort and make the car more user-friendly. The TR2 was fitted with an electric cooling fan and an overdrive was added to the gearbox.
Thirteen years later, this stylish classic is still in mint condition. The dimensional accuracy is exceptional and the paint looks impeccable! The undercarriage looks just as immaculate as the body.
The engine sounds healthy, is powerful and accelerates beautifully in any speed. The additional cooling fan and overdrive are an asset.
The interior has minor signs of use.
The Roadster is fitted with a beige soft top, side screens, a tonneau, hood cover…
It still has its original steering wheel and comes with an additional set of chrome wire wheels (mounted).
Price: 43. 950 euro
