Triumph produced 8,628 TR2`s between 1953 and 1955 of which there are less than 500 left, many were exported overseas mostly to America buyers. This example was originally in South Africa and there is documentation with the vehicle showing it was exported from South Africa on 06/06/2016.
The car comes with: Full windscreen (cracked on n/s), two plastic window panels with black vinyl surrounds that slot into the top of the doors, a full tonneau cover in cream canvas, n/s mirror (not currently fitted to car) and a matching pair of modern helmets with goggles. There is a folding metal roof frame but no canvas/cloth roof attached to it.
Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot
Estimated at £20,000 - £25,000
Has had some work done to the front and rear wings and the sills (done to a high standard) which is understandable for a car of this age, it has also therefore had a new coat of paint at some time and unfortunatley it has started to bubble slightly (but not broken the paint) on the bonnet and the n/s/r wing. There is a small spilt in the paint on the boot lid about 5cm/2inch in length. Wheels are in good condition all with Goodyear Eagle GTA tyres except the spare which has a Uniroyal tyre The leather interior is in good used condition and is fitted with four point harnesses/seatbelts the wooden steering wheel is also in good condition. As stated in the listing the full windscreen is present but cracked on the n/s and the n/s mirror is present (both not fitted to car). The tonneau cover is in good order just a little dirty and the side panels are good too.
