The Triumph
TR 2 is the successor of the Triumph 2000 Roadster. TR 2 which was built
from the year 1953 until the year 1955. The Triumph TR 2 was the first
sports car in the long, successful, Triumph TR history ending with the
TR 8 in the mid-1980ies.
The car shows a very remarkable body shape with deep door cut-outs and
very nice flowing wing- and tail-lines. The headlights are located way
up in front of the bonnet looking a bit like frogeyes. The early cars
featured 'long doors' closing over the sills. The later versions were
given 'short doors' which revealed the sills.
The Triumph TR 2 is a no nonsense sports car; very robust, simple and
reliable, a true British sports car all over. The engine was a Standard
Vanguard based, cast-iron, long stroke, in-line four cylinder with a
displacement of 1991cc. The engine was equipped with two S.U.
carburettors giving a power-output of almost 100 bhp.
The TR 2 is a pure two-person roadster, a classic generously giving you
the fifties British sports car feeling, rough but honest. It comes with
a simple soft-top for weather protection. Separate clip-on side screens
can additionally be attached to the doors.
