The first right-hand-drive TR2 is going back to Europe.

About TS2

1. “TS2” isn’t a model. It’s the commission number of the first right-hand-drive Triumph TR2, hand-built at Banner Lane in July 1953.
2. She was born travelling. Within months she had gone via Sweden to Ireland, where she became a Standard-Triumph demonstrator on trade plates.
3. She was raced, rallied and hill-climbed. In 1954, as IR-6360, she completed the gruelling four-day Circuit of Ireland Rally without mishap.
4. She nearly didn’t survive. Semi-derelict by the 1960s, rescued in the 1970s, donated to the TR Register and returned to the road by its members in 2001.
5. And she still isn’t a museum piece. After a 9,500-mile Round Britain Relay in 2022, at 73 she is taking on the Ten Countries Run.

And the TR2 was no ordinary 1950s roadster: a sister development car hit nearly 125 mph at Jabbeke in 1953, making it the fastest production sports car under two litres in the world. More about TS2 →
