Seller's Notes

This Triumph TR250 is a characterful and engaging classic British sports car, which reportedly benefited from some restorative maintenance in 2023. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre straight-six, fed by twin Stromberg carburettors, and originally delivering around 81kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Built for the US market in period, it was later imported to and registered in Australia. The odometer shows 89,983 miles, but this is not warranted. Build year: 1968 The paint code ‘25’ suggests that this TR250 was originally painted in Conifer green, though it is now finished in white, with chrome trim elements and a black convertible roof, over a red leather-trimmed interior, featuring a black dashboard and door card tops, red carpets, and a wood veneer dashboard inlay. It rides on a set of black 15-inch cross-spoke wire wheels with two-eared chrome knock-offs, fitted with Falken Ziex ZE310 R Ecorun tyres. The cabin features a three-spoke steering wheel, Smiths dials and a locking glovebox. The seller notes that a larger radiator and thermostat have been fitted. Accompanying the vehicle will be a collection of restoration and service receipts. One ignition key will be supplied. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a very minor paint chip near the boot hinges. This TR250’s most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2025 at an indicated 89,707 miles by marque specialist The Triumph Centre. Work included the installation of a new radiator, thermostat, and water pump. The engine head was also flushed, and an ‘A’ service with an engine oil and filter change was carried out. Prior to this, The Triumph Centre performed a major service with a spark plug change in September 2024 at an indicated 89,256 miles. The wheel studs, hub splines, front engine seal and gasket, differential pinion seal, rear seal, gearbox selector shaft seal, fuel filter, carburettor needles, seatbelts, and tyres were also replaced. This Triumph TR250 is a charming and lesser-seen classic British sports car, which reportedly benefited from some restorative maintenance in 2023. Presented with a timeless white finish over tasteful red upholstery, and boasting a characterful straight-six engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it should make a wonderful companion for weekend drives, fair-weather open-air cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
