According to the accompanying BMIHT Certificate, 7575 TR was built on 9th July 1962 and delivered ex-works to Portsmouth Triumph dealer Munn & Underwood on 11th July. It was first registered on 20th July. Options from new included 48 spoke wire wheels, a heater and windscreen washers. The first owner was a Mr J B Maney of South Ockenden, Essex, who kept it until his death in 1976 following which his widow stored the car in a barn for the next eleven years before selling it to a friend of her son as a restoration project. Work was carried out over the next three years before it was again sold as an unfinished project to a gentleman living in Potters Bar who installed a reconditioned engine and completed the work in 1992. In December 1993, it was sold on requiring a gearbox overhaul, the new owner having an overdrive unit added during the overhaul. Between November 1996 and March 1997, a bare metal respray was carried out and, apart from a few blemishes, in our opinion the paintwork still presents extremely well today.
Fitted with Stromberg carburettors and a Kenlowe fan, the specification includes dome Jaeger clocks and TR3B-style seats as fitted to early examples. Said to drive extremely well, this classic Home Market British sports car is offered with a detailed history file including Swansea V5c, old green logbook, Heritage Certificate, assorted expired MoTs dating back to 1992, old tax discs, photographs of the body restoration and numerous invoices.
