of a TR2 was one of the last examples made and appears today in its original factory color of red with light leather interior. It is believed that the car lived its entire life in California until its current owner purchased it seven years ago. The Triumph was then painstakingly restored by Boxweed Auto Restoration of Georgia, a reputed atelier with over 45 years of experience in restoring classic cars to show-quality condition. All the bodywork, interior, paint, and mechanical elements underwent restoration that concluded a year ago, and the TR2 has been driven less than 400 miles since it left the shop. Accompanying the sale of the car are its proper side curtains.<br \/>\n<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3109\/1.html\">The Amelia Island Auction by Gooding &amp; Company<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9749361-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=3513&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=974936\">1955 Triumph TR2 Roadster TS146560<\/a> &#8211; sold for $15,400<br \/>\nThe 1955 TR2 offered here is a well-sorted and very attractive example, properly finished in British Racing Green with a cockpit trimmed in tan upholstery. The current owner reports it to be a wonderful car to drive as it also benefits from a rare overdrive transmission, which ensures comfortable cruising at today\u2019s highway speeds. The previous owner rebuilt the engine and more recent mechanical work includes new brakes and electrical work, as well as recently set ignition timing.<br \/>\n<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2121\/9.html\">2009 Meadow Brook Concours<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1953 Triumph TR2 Standard Triumph build the TR2 as a mid-market sports car.
