To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€20,000 - €30,000
- Charming white-over-black colour scheme
- An excellent driver-quality example of a popular British
marque
Triumph's TR2 was first displayed at the Geneva Auto Show in March
1953. Styled by Walter Bedgrove, the jaunty little car was full of
charm and character. Its competitive pricing was made possible
through the use of parts and components readily available in the
firm's other offerings. The TR2's 1,991 cc four-cylinder engine
produces a respectable 90 hp coupled to a four-speed manual
gearbox. Wrapped in swoopy bodywork, it is intentionally evocative
of the more expensive Jaguar.
More than 8,600 were sold throughout the production run, which
ended in September 1955. Resplendent in white with a contrasting
black interior, this car will serve as a perfect driver, having
been enjoyed but well cared for. Fitted with period wide whitewall
tires, it will make for quite the statement on the road.
- Cativante combina��o de branco com interior preto
- Excelente exemplar da popular marca brit�nica para uso
frequente
O TR2 da Triumph foi exibido pela primeira vez no sal�o autom�vel
de Genebra, em mar�o de 1953. Desenhado por Walter Bedgrove, o
pequeno autom�vel primava pelo charme e personalidade forte. O seu
pre�o competitivo foi poss�vel gra�as ao uso de pe�as e componentes
dispon�veis nos outros modelos do construtor. O motor de quatro
cilindros e 1991 cc do TR2 debita 90 respeit�veis cavalos e est�
acoplado a uma caixa manual de quatro velocidades. Envolvido numa
carro�aria voluptuosa, � intencionalmente evocativo dos Jaguar, que
eram mais caros.
No total, mais de 8600 foram vendidos, numa produ��o que terminou
em setembro de 1955. Resplandecente em branco com um interior preto
contrastante, este autom�vel ser� perfeito para uma utiliza��o
frequente, tendo sido apreciado, mas tamb�m bem cuidado. Equipado
com pneus de flanco branco, como na �poca, causar� sensa��o na
estrada.To view this car and others currently consigned to this
