1954 Triumph TR2

An Attractive Early TR2 

A very smart and appealing example of Triumph’s landmark early sports car, this 1954 TR2 has recently arrived with us and is now ready for its next custodian.

First registered in Berkshire in February 1954, the car is accompanied by a substantial history file documenting its life and the considerable work carried out over the years.

We understand that a major restoration was undertaken during the early 2000s, followed by ongoing maintenance and improvement. More recently, the TR2 has benefited from a repaint together with replacement wheel bearings, brake cylinders, shock absorbers and suspension rubbers. The wire wheels have also been refurbished and a service was carried out earlier this summer.

Introduced in 1953, the TR2 was the sports car Sir John Black had wanted Standard-Triumph to build. Following development work by BRM engineer and test driver Ken Richardson, the production TR2 emerged as a light, purposeful and genuinely quick British sports car.

Power came from the robust 1,991cc wet-liner four-cylinder engine derived from the Standard Vanguard. Its excellent power-to-weight ratio gave the TR2 sparkling performance, with The Motor famously recording a top speed in excess of 100 mph, remarkable performance for a relatively affordable British sports car of the period.

The TR2 proved particularly successful in North America and helped establish the long-running TR sports car dynasty that followed.

With its handsome early TR styling, extensive documentation and considerable expenditure over the years, this is an appealing example that is ready to be enjoyed.
