Lot 7808: 1955 Triumph TR2

Q: What makes this car special?

This 1955 Triumph TR2 is special for several compelling reasons: **Rarity**: With only about 1,500 TR2s surviving worldwide from the original 8,636 produced, it's genuinely scarce - especially in the US where only a small percentage remain. **Value**: At $20,000, it's priced well below comparable TR2s which typically range from $26,000-$40,000, making it an excellent entry point into classic British roadster ownership. **Unique Design**: The TR2 features distinctive early Triumph styling with that charming 'wide-eyed, open-mouthed' front end and dramatically raked windshield that you won't find on later TR3s. The cut-down doors and sweeping fender lines make it instantly recognizable. **Driving Experience**: The 1,991cc inline-four with twin carburetors and overdrive delivers the classic British roadster experience - nimble handling, rev-happy engine, and that distinctive exhaust note that makes these cars so beloved. **Authenticity**: This car retains its original character with driver-quality patina throughout, from the banjo steering wheel to the bomber-style seats. It's an honest example that hasn't been over-restored. The combination of rarity, value, and pure British roadster charm makes this a very special find.
