A Rare Find—a Frame-off Restored TR 250 with a Surrey Top
The Triumph TR 250 was a limited production car that has become a rarity among classic cars. Finding a nice example is hard to do (of those built it is estimated that fewer than 600 remain) but finding a totally restored [frame-off] TR 250 with a Surrey Top is a rare find indeed.
Great Looking
·
Paint and Chrome

Resprayed in its original Signal Red, this car’s finish looks like new as one would expect for a car with a frame-off restoration.
The chrome is extremely nice as is the stainless trim.
·
Surrey Top
This TR 250 has the optional Surrey Top, with the removable vinyl insert, that likewise looks new. The Surrey Top is a much sought-after accessory, providing additional occupant protection should it be needed. The “targa-style” top gives the car a stylistic flare that is unmatched by the other TRs.
·
Interior

The Black interior upholstery, complete with piping, was all redone and looks like new. The door panels are excellent as is the carpeting. The dash has the upgraded wood veneer finish and all of the instruments are in excellent cosmetic and operational condition. There is a Tourist Trophy wood-rimmed steering wheel to complete the interior finishes.
·
Engine

The TR 250 has the 2.5 liter 6 cylinder engine as opposed to the four cylinder engine that powered the TR 4. The engine was rebuilt during the car’s restoration.
·
Transmission
The four-speed fully synchromesh transmission operates correctly and makes this car a pleasure to drive.
·
Chassis

The underside of this TR 250 is free of any visible rust or corrosion.

·
Safety and Comfort features
The car has front disc brakes, independent rear suspension and rack and pinion steering, all of which contribute to the feeling of stability and to the car’s safety. Three point seat belts provide for additional passenger safety.
All of the safety and accessory features work—lights, turn signals, wipers, (the horn will need a bit of attention), etc. All of the instruments are nicely set off with a wood dash and is complemented by the Tourist Trophy wood-rimmed steering wheel. The car is equipped with 185R15 Redline tires mounted on 4 Dayton stainless steel wire knock-off wheels. (The original painted wire wheels and the convertible top/frame will also convey with the car.)
There is the optional luggage rack mounted on the trunk and a badge bar mounted on the front.
An Extremely Nice Example of a Rare British Sports Car
This is a TR 250 that has no “issues”. It looks, performs and excites like it did back in 1968 when it came to U.S. showrooms. Equipped with the Surrey Top option, Redline tires on Dayton stainless knock-off wire wheels and chrome luggage rack, it is an impressive car at the cruise-ins, British car shows or just driving around your home town. And, given its rarity, you will be driving a car that has great appreciation potential.
