Triumph does not build many cars like the Triumph TR2 with 1991 cc I4, built from 1953 to 1955 at the height of the post-war boom.
The story
The Triumph TR2 is a sports car produced by the Standard Motor Company in the United Kingdom from 1953 to 1955. It was most commonly available in open two-seater form.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 1991 cc I4. Kerb weight is 2100 lb. The gearbox is a 4-speed manual. The wheelbase is 88 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Triumph's history is not in doubt: the Triumph 20TS came before it; the Triumph TR3 followed it; it was built at Coventry, United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Corvette, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Nearby in the Triumph catalogue sit the Triumph SD2 and the Triumph Renown.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Triumph TR2 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
