Description
Triumph TR 2 ‘long door’, year 1954.
Chassis number TS 1192.
Colour black with a red leather interior and black carpet.
Red soft top and side screens, red tonneau cover.
This rare Triumph TR 2 ‘long door’ was extensively and ‘body off’ restored about a decade ago.
The TR was driven sparsely on sunny days, the car is still in an excellent condition!
This early TR 2 model shows all details of the first model series.
On the exterior you will note the long doors covering the sills and the small Lucas rear lights.
Under the surface you will find the cable operated bonnet release with two catches, and the special thermostat housing on the engine.
The cylinder head design also differs from the later four-cylinder TR’s.
On this car the original drum brakes at the front wheels were replaced by more effective disc brakes from a TR 3A. The ‘long door’ design feature was followed by the ‘short door’ design quickly, this because many unlucky owners smashed the doors against high street kerbs trying to get out of the car… This wonderful Triumph TR 2 is fitted with silver painted wire wheels and Lucas P700 headlamps. The original drum brakes are still with the car to bring it back to full factory original ‘concours’ specifications.
This beautifully restored TR 2 ‘long door’ is a great find for the Triumph TR Enthusiast / collector!
