Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present
this 1968 Triumph TR250. Produced for only one model year, the
Michelotti designed TR250, known as the TR5 in Europe, was very
similar to the TR4 sports car, albeit a 6-cylinder over the
previous car's 4-cylinder engine. While the European TR5 was fitted
with Lucas' fuel injection system, the TR250 utilized twin
Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Standard equipment included front
disc brakes, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering
and a four-speed gearbox. Just over 8,000 TR250s were produced for
the US market and is estimated that less than 600 remain today
around the world. The TR250's hp increase over the TR-4A was only 6
ponies, but torque rose from 128 lbft to 152, and at a lower rpm.
That combined with the Triumph six' inherent smooth ways made a
marked improvement in feel and acoustics, even if objective
performance wasn't really much better. Inside, the Triumph TR250
offers a range of features designed to enhance your comfort and
enjoyment. The tan leather interior provides a luxurious and
inviting atmosphere, while the air conditioning system ensures a
pleasant ride regardless of the weather. For your entertainment,
the vehicle is equipped with an AM/FM radio, allowing you to enjoy
your favorite tunes as you cruise down the road. Driving this
classic car is made even more enjoyable with the inclusion of power
brakes, which provide confident stopping power. The radial tires
offer improved handling and ride quality, ensuring that every
journey is smooth and controlled. This 1968 TR250 is a captivating
blend of style, performance, and comfort. With its beautiful
burgundy exterior, luxurious tan leather interior, and an array of
desirable features, it offers a driving experience that is both
memorable and enjoyable. Whether you're a classic car enthusiast or
simply appreciate fine automotive design, this Triumph TR250 is
sure to impress.
