Reimel Motor Cars is thrilled to present a 1955 Triumph TR2 with an impressive 43,000 miles. This stunning vehicle features red exterior paint and an original red leather interior.
The TR2 sports car was designed with the aim of capturing the American market, which was growing rapidly at the time. It was powered by a 1,991-cc overhead-valve inline-four engine that was sourced from the Standard line. The car was wrapped in a distinct and stylish body that made it stand out from other sports cars of its time.
The TR2 was only in production from late 1953 to 1955 before it was replaced by the TR3. During its short production run, only 8,636 TR2s were built, compared to over 75,000 TR3s. However, the TR2 played a significant role in Triumph's success in the critical US market. It was the car that kickstarted America's love affair with affordable British sports cars, offering buyers a stylish and exciting machine.
Today, the TR2 is appreciated by enthusiasts for its historical importance, as well as its simple, attractive lines and spirited performance. This TR2 is one of just 1,432 survivors, according to the Vintage Triumph Register, making it a rare and desirable early Triumph sports car. It is also a numbers-matching car, meaning that all of its original parts are intact. Apart from a single respray, the car remains in its original condition, including the seats and carpets. It has recently been mechanically sorted and is ready to be enjoyed, or it could be a fantastic candidate for a restoration project.
