1968 Triumph TR250

This auction is for a Triumph TR250 project car.Due to the single year of production (1968) the TR250 is arguably one of the most rare and desirable models produced by the Triumph Motor Company.
This particular example has been owned by me since 1992 and was in extremely rough shape at the time. Over the course of the next 5-7 years after the purchase a variety of work was done to it, returning it to driving condition. A photo of the car taken at that time is included in the listing (this DOES NOT represent the current condition of the car). This photo has been clearly marked as not representative of the car at the current time. The car was driven regularly for a period of time at which point I decided to perform a more complete restoration. The car was disassembled and, as is sometimes the case, other priorities intervened.
Misc. details related to the car include:
  • Engine rebuilt (has not been back in car since rebuild)
    • GP2 reground CAM installed
    • new lifters, seals, timing chain, sprockets, etc.
