Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1968 Triumph TR250 Roadster.If you are looking at this car then you
already know its special. Let's talk about just how special. One of
8,484 TR250's ever produced by Triumph. It has been estimated that
less than 600 of them are still with us. Now let's throw in that
this one has travelled just 31,652 from new. That's correct you are
looking at a true survivor.When we had an opportunity to buy this
car from a local collector we were both excited and honored to be
entrusted with this car. Being Healey guys for over thirty plus
years we have also become British Car Guys and we really appreciate
all British cars but especially original type cars. This one
certainly fits the bill. NEVER RUSTED this Signal Red TR presents
beautifully with a very nice patina. One repaint long ago still
shows well and gives the car a very nice look and feel- like a
comfortable pair of well cared for slippers. The interior is
original leather and simply beautiful, once again showing the signs
of light, caring use. Nothing in the interior is repop new junk-
it's all real Triumph and original. The chrome shows as you would
expect 50-year-old original chrome to show. The entire car just has
a very nice, for lack of a better term, even look.Runs and drives
very nicely, just like a car that has low original miles and has
never been taken apart and "restored and made better". Also, worth
mentioning is a working, spot on overdrive that makes this TR a joy
to drive at highway speed- flip the OD switch and instantly drop
RPM's for a comfortable cruise. The engine in this car is a couple
hundred numbers away from what the Heritage Certificate says it
should be- typo? Replacement under warranty? It is a TR250 engine
and beyond that we don't really think we care. The whole car is so
honest.Tr4- great looking-little performance. TR6- tons of them
made and maybe not quite as attractive as the 4. The 250 gets you
the best of all worlds- 6 Cylinder performance, great styling and
with its survivor condition most likely an investment grade
car.Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a
prized possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.We
stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold
our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet.... We pride
ourselves on having good cars and representing them
properly.Additional pictures and video are available, please call

drive.
