Lot 7808: 1955 Triumph TR2

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. Would you like me to help you find similar vehicles or answer any specific questions about this TR2?
