Triumph TR250 Fully restored 1968

Allmän beskrivning : What a picture! The Triumph TR250 has always been a thing of beauty to behold, but since its complete restoration it has become an even more alluring classic car. This Triumph TR 250 hit the roads for the first time on the 30th June 1968. It was exported to the Netherlands in 2002. At this time the once so stunning British roadster had become a solid restoration base. The new owner decided to take a rigorous approach, restoring and mechanically overhauling the car over the following years. If you asked us to describe in one word what was done, we would have to say; Everything! The complete restoration was photographically recorded. The original owner’s manual forms part of the documentation. The bodywork was taken back to bare metal and repaired where necessary. The chassis was replaced with a fetching new black power-coated one. Mechanically the car was totally taken in hand and rebuilt using many new replacement parts. From big-end bearings to crankshaft seal, everything has been replaced. It was truly a pure-sang nut & bolt restoration. When all of the above had been completed, the bodywork was reunited with its chassis. You could say that this was the car’s second marriage of body and sole. The bodywork and hood frame were then spay-painted black and a new canvas hood was fitted, which is still in very good shape. A tonneau cover is also part of the deal. You can guess what the eventual result was like. Even when it was first built in the Triumph factory they could not have given as much attention to detail as was given during this restoration; and simply because it is not possible to build with such perfection in serial production. To compliment the lovely external features, the interior trim was given as much attention as the rest. The car boasts fine black carpets and lovely tan leather upholstery. The fact that the previous owner enjoyed restoring the car more than actually driving it, is to your own benefit. This is optimal “turn-key” classic driving ecstasy. The bodywork is still very good and the chassis is as good as new. The paintwork show hardly any signs of use and still has a deep black lustre. During the restoration the wheels were powder-coated in the original grey colour. The Tan leather upholstery is in perfect condition as is the burr-wood dashboard. All switches and instruments are in fine condition and good working order. Mechanically the car excels. The wonderful 2.5 litre straight-six is in peak health. The engine runs perfectly and sounds great. The sharp intake of breath is a delight to listen to as the twin carburettors do their job breathing in through the cold-air filters. The exhaust fumes part company with the car via a full stainless steel exhaust system, adding to pleasure had from this Triumph TR250’s delicious road handling. The transmission is supple and sure-footed. When driving everything demonstrates the good job done mechanically during the restoration. In short a lovely 1968 Triumph TR 250, that with its good looks more than deserves our praise! Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

om Triumph
Triumph, ett namn synonymt med klassiska sportbilar och innovativa design, har en rik och mångskiftande historia inom bilvärlden.

Triumphs historia började i slutet av 1800-talet när företaget ursprungligen tillverkade cyklar och sedan utvidgade verksamheten till motorcyklar. Det var dock på 1920-talet som Triumph vågade sig in i biltillverkning. Under åren blev Triumph kända för sina högkvalitativa fordon som kombinerade prestanda med stil.

En av Triumphs mest ikoniska modeller var TR3, introducerad i slutet av 1950-talet. Det var en klassisk brittisk sportbil älskad för sin enkla men eleganta design och spännande körupplevelse. TR3 blev en symbol för prisvärd sportbilsnjutning och lade grunden för en serie framgångsrika TR-modeller, inklusive TR4, TR5 och TR6.

Utöver sportbilarna gjorde Triumph sig ett namn med Michelotti-designade sedaner. Triumph Herald, introducerad i början av 1960-talet, var en kompakt familjebil som stoltserade med stilren design och gedigen teknik. Senare riktade Triumph 2000 och 2500 sedaner sig mot en mer exklusiv marknad och fick rykte om sig för sina bekväma köregenskaper och eleganta utseende.

Trots sina framgångar mötte Triumph genom åren många utmaningar, inklusive ekonomiska svårigheter och ägarförändringar. På 1980-talet genomgick British Leyland, företaget som ägde Triumph, en omfattande omstrukturering, och varumärket Triumph fasades successivt ut.

Triumphs nedgång var utan tvekan både sorglig och på många sätt skamlig. Företaget som hade producerat älskade sportbilar och välansedda sedaner höll sakta på att försvinna. År 1984 rullade den sista bilen med Triumph-logotypen av produktionslinjen och markerade slutet på en era.

Trots att namnet Triumph försvann lever dess arv vidare. Entusiaster och samlare värderar fortfarande klassiska Triumph-sportbilar som TR3, TR6 och Spitfire, liksom den unika charmen hos Triumph-sedanerna. Triumph förblir ett symboliskt inslag i den brittiska bilhistorien och det tidlösa locket hos klassiska sportbilar.

Sammanfattningsvis är Triumphs historia en blandning av klassisk sportbilsbriljans och innovativt sedan-design. Dess sorgliga och på många sätt skamliga nedgång påminner om de utmaningar som många bilföretag har stött på genom åren, men Triumphs anda lever vidare i hjärtan av bilentusiaster över hela världen. Och TR3:s fantastiska egenskaper förblir ett strålande exempel på klassiska sportbilar och deras tidlösa attraktion.
