Triumph's TR Series began with the unveiling of a prototype at the 1952 London Motorshow. It was built around the chassis of the pre-war Flying Nine, the suspension from the Mayflower, and the engine out of the Vanguard. Its two-seater body was mounted on a substantial ladder-type chassis. The suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and a live axle and leaf springs at the rear. The newcomer's 1991cc four-cylinder Vanguard engine sported twin SUs and was tuned to produce 90bhp. Motor magazine's road test of a TR2 in 1954 achieved 11.9 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint and an ultimate speed of over 107mph.
Offered here is a TR2 finished in White with a Red interior with some 47,900 miles displaying on the odometer. Offered from long-term family ownership since being imported into the UK in 1997, little is known about the TR2's early history. We are advised 'RZ 2541' had been dry stored in a garage and not used for approximately 5 years due to ill health and it has been on SORN for the past year. Evidently the subject of a degree of restoration at some stage in its life the TR has recently been recommissioned for the road once more, with a receipt on file for the work carried out by TR Bitz. A recent MOT test was carried out with a ‘no advisories’ outcome and remains valid until 12th May 2025. The vendor has described the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as ‘Good’ and the electrics as ‘Very Good’. A May 2024 invoice from marque specialist TR Bitz, shows parts purchased included a headlamp dip switch, a handbrake and a choke cable, headlamp switch, master cylinder, replacement key and a boot handle and fitted as part of recommissioning work. The TR2 possesses full weather equipment plus aero screens and filler cap and is offered with a current V5C on file.
