| TRIUMPH TR2 |
|
This TR2 from 1954 was owned by me in 1965-66. The main brake cylinder leaked down on my ankle, the gears jumped out and it lacked rear suspension. I had no funds to do a proper renovation so I sold it and expected never to hear of it again. BUT... 30 years later I got a telephone call from its present owner. It has not only survived, it is now rebuilt to a very high standard. |

when the car was salvaged by Sören, the present owner.
It is still missing front bumper and nave plates but it
looks promising (?) In fact Sören spent a lot of kronor
and seven years spare time on this car. The car was not red from new. It was painted a sickly blue-green-grey. |

The proud owner posing with the car this summer. The Brookland screens looks racy and you get a lot of fresh air. But Sören also drives motor-cycles so he is used to it. Unlike most other 50´s cars the TR2 gives ample performance with a 100 b.h.p. engine and a weight of 970 kg (2135 lb.). |
