Triumph TR2
The classic Triumph TR2
The Triumph TR2 is a sports car produced between 1953 and 1955 by the Standard Motor Company in the United Kingdom. The car uses a twin SU carburettor version of the 121cid 4-cylinder Standard Vanguard engine tuned for increasing output to 90 horsepower. The body was mounted on a substantial separate chassis with coil-sprung independent suspension at the front and a leaf spring at the rear. The car could be supplied with wire or disc wheels. The standard transmission was a 4-speed manual, but overdrive was also available as an extra option. The car was equipped with Lockheed drum brakes.
The Triumph TR2 was designed to challenge MG in the sports car export market to North America. Another reason was because Sir John Black, the boss of the Standard Motor Company, had previously made a bid for the Morgan Motor Company, which failed. He would design his own sports car that could compete with MG. Triumph already had the Triumph Roadster, but it was dated and didn't have enough power. Sir John Black wanted an affordable sports car, so he started building a prototype.
The chassis was a shortened version of the Standard Eight and the engine was the Standard Vanguard 2-litre; a two-seater body was created around this. It was named 20TS, unveiled at the 1952 London Motor Show. A year later, the TR2 was revealed. It had a better appearance, a simple ladder-type chassis, a longer body and a larger trunk. The TR2 was loved by American buyers and became the top earner for Triumph.
