1968 Triumph TR250 in St Louis, Missouri

Vehicle Description

One of the rarest and most collectible Triumphs is the TR250. These combine the classic Giovanni Michelotti design of the TR4 with six cylinder power and independent rear suspension of the TR6. To many collectors, the TR250 (called TR5 in the U.K.) represents the high point of Triumph sports cars. Unfortunately, these cars were prone to rust, particularly in the rear section of the frame. As time goes on, it becomes more difficult to find a good solid car like the one here. The body is very straight and solid. The frame is in great shape without any rust issues as evidenced by the photos. Our car has an older paint job that is still presentable but not without some flaws. There is about a two inch chip in the license plate area (plate would cover it) and there some small chips and/or parking lot type dings in various places although nothing too bad. The worst part of the paint is the hood. The hood does need paint and we are willing to paint the hood for the buyer of the car. The brightwork remains presentable as well. Both front and rear bumpers are straight and shiny. The front fender marker light chrome is good and the taillight housings have some light pitting on the chrome. Interior is quite decent with seats, carpets, and door panels all in good order. There is a chunk out of the lower dash pad above the choke pull and the steering wheel cover is losing some of its stitching. The dash wood is in very nice shape with no delamination as is often the case. The top is a correct canvas top and in good shape. Mechanically, the car runs strongly, no smoke, very good oil pressure, normal temp range, and good brakes and steering. Overall, this car will make a fun driver as is or with a few cosmetic improvements become show winner.
