1968 Triumph TR250
Another rare car -- made about 8,400 total units. This one has had a complete body off restoration. Every panel has been stripped to insure no rust ever existed. The frame was selected among three frames that I had. One additional perfect frame is included in the sale. The frame was stripped and coated with several coats of epoxy paint. All bushings on the suspension has been replaced. The front shocks are uprated and the rear shocks are now Spax which replaced the terrible lever arm shocks.
The body has been painted arrest me red 8 coats with at least 4 coats of clear. The front stripe is painted the correct silver. The body on this car is straight as an arrow! New chrome wire wheels and redline tires are at all four corners along with the spare tire. This beauty has an original Surrey top with the vinyl beach top as an added extra feature. There is also the original convertible top bow and vinyl top included.
The engine was rebuilt using a fast road cam to accommodate the triple Weber installation. A new aluminum radiator and stainless shroud was installed. The radiator hoses are the original green type, The engine is fresh with all new components, water pump, etc. An MSD and Petronix ignition along with a sport coil adds to the reliability.
The interior has a new wood dash and wood Moto Lita steering wheel. The glove box door is replaced with an aluminum clad face which the rally stop watches and rally light are mounted (the original matching door is included). The radio AM/FM/CD is located in the glove box to accommodate the added gauges, indicator lights, fog lamp switch, fan switch etc. A 4 point roll bar is added for safety if rallying is your thing. The transmission has been uprated to an overdrive unit. Additional fuse box and relays have been added for the driving lights, OD Transmission, fans etc. An electric fuel pump feeds the webers along with stainless steel braided hoses and AN fittings.
I’ve restored 8 of these and sold them all to happy customers.
