About this 1980 Triumph TR8

An extraordinary survivor of British motoring history — one of just 300 Triumph TR8 Coupes ever produced, showing an incredible 3,600 original miles today. When featured on Bring a Trailer in 2015, the car displayed only 1,800 miles, confirming its lifelong preservation and near-new condition.
Kept from new by the original Triumph dealer, Motor Service Co. of Rapid City, South Dakota, this TR8 remained in the care of the dealership that sold it new — a historic 1929 building now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The car still wears its original Motor Service Co. bumper sticker, a tangible link to its authentic provenance.
Now proudly offered by Gem Classic Cars, this TR8 stands as a true automotive time capsule — exceptionally original, impeccably preserved, and likely the lowest-mileage TR8 Coupe in existence.
A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Triumph history, untouched by time and as close to new as any surviving example in the world.

Un véritable trésor de l’histoire automobile britannique : l’un des 300 Triumph TR8 Coupés jamais construits, affichant aujourd’hui 3 600 miles d’origine. Lorsqu’il fut présenté sur Bring a Trailer en 2015, il ne totalisait que 1 800 miles, preuve de sa conservation exceptionnelle et de son état quasi neuf.
Conservé depuis sa livraison par le concessionnaire Triumph d’origine, Motor Service Co. à Rapid City, Dakota du Sud, ce TR8 est resté toute sa vie entre les mains de la même maison — un bâtiment historique de 1929, désormais inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques. La voiture porte encore le stickeur d’origine du concessionnaire, témoin unique de sa provenance authentique.
Ce TR8 est un véritable témoin du temps : exceptionnellement original, remarquablement préservé, et très probablement le TR8 Coupé le moins kilométré au monde.

Een uitzonderlijke vondst uit de Britse autogeschiedenis: één van slechts 300 Triumph TR8 Coupés ooit geproduceerd, met slechts 3.600 originele mijlen op de teller. Toen de auto in 2015 op Bring a Trailer verscheen, had hij amper 1.800 mijlen, wat zijn ongelooflijke staat van bewaring bevestigt.
Sinds nieuw bewaard door de oorspronkelijke Triumph-dealer, Motor Service Co. in Rapid City, South Dakota, bleef deze TR8 altijd in handen van dezelfde garage — een historisch gebouw uit 1929, dat vandaag op het National Register of Historic Places staat. De wagen draagt nog steeds de originele dealersticker, een tastbaar bewijs van zijn unieke herkomst.
Nu aangeboden door Gem Classic Cars, is deze TR8 een waar tijdscapsule – buitengewoon origineel, uitzonderlijk goed bewaard en waarschijnlijk de TR8 Coupé met de laagste kilometerstand ter wereld.
Een zeldzame kans om een stukje Triumph-geschiedenis te bezitten, onaangetast door de tijd en bijna zo nieuw als de dag dat hij de fabriek verliet.
