Triumph TR250 (0) 1968
General description :
This Triumph TR250 was supplied from new in the Washington state, the USA in 1968. About 30 years ago the car came over to the Netherlands. It was completely original and came from its first owner who had kept the car until 1987. For nigh on 30 years, the car was “forgotten” until a new owner came along a few years ago. He decided to leave the car in as much original condition as possible, after all, where can you find an untouched car these days? Whist inspecting the car it became obvious that as it had such a solid base and a mechanical overhaul and re-spray would suffice in bringing this car back to life. That is now exactly what we are able to offer you today. A very authentic example with a new coat of paint in “ready to go” condition. The engine was completely rebuilt using new parts where required, including a new stainless steel exhaust. All work is of recent date, carried out by a Dutch Triumph specialist. The € 9,000.- bill for the mechanical work alone is representative of the amount of time, effort and money spent on this car. The paintwork is in very good condition, the interior trim is partially original and in very good shape considering its age. The bodywork and chassis are naturally rust-free and the quality of the panel work is great. Before and after photos show how this Triumph TR 250 was brought back to life whilst saving its authentic character. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
