Triumph TR 250 – 1968

Triumph TR 250, year 1968.Colour dark blue combined with a black interior. The car comes with a sought-after original “Surrey top” with a rear window frame in body colour, a silver metallic metal roof panel, and a black vinyl foldable roof top. The “Surrey top” is a very desirable option on Triumph TR 4, TR 5, and TR 250 cars and it was the inspiration for the Porsche “Targa” top.
The TR 250 is the American version of the European Triumph TR 5. This car was sold new in the United States, and it was imported to the Netherlands decades ago.
The last owner has enjoyed this Triumph since 2001. The (service) history is documented since 2001. This magnificent looking driver’s car is in a good overall condition and the car drives and sounds wonderfully. The owner participated in touring rally events, the car shows signs of use here and there and especially in the interior.
The car features some desirable “fast road” modifications. The engine was built to European TR 5 specifications, fitted with S.U. carburettors, electronic ignition and a twin pipe sports exhaust.
The engine delivers around 130 DIN hp of power.
The suspension was strengthened and upgraded with a stabilizer bar, telescopic shock dampers around, and Minilite style wheels with central wheel nuts.
Furthermore, this fine TR 250 is fitted with overdrive, a large aluminium petrol tank, oil cooler, electric cooling fan, bucket seats, roll bars behind the seats, Securon 4-point safety harnesses and a MotoLita sports steering wheel with a wood rim.
This Triumph TR 250 is a magnificent and wonderful driver car, a great companion to enjoy historic (touring rally) events!
