Triumph TR2 - England's automobile trump card

July 29, 2011 — David Scott 6

Many memories of a fortnight's drive through Germany in a 'Triumph TR 2' remain vivid: the deep, powerful roar when the two-liter engine exceeds 2000 rpm; the astonished faces in the rear-view mirror when driving through towns; the pressure on the back when the accelerator pedal is depressed - even at 130 km/h; and a speed on the autobahn that very few other cars can achieve. This is a car that delights the heart and satisfies the sense of self! A car in which two people can travel quickly and safely. The Hobby report from 1955 is one of the first published driving experiences in German.

Triumph TR 3 from 1957 - the successful roadster

August 21, 2014 — Bruno von Rotz 93

In 1952, Triumph presented a new sports car, which was a miscarriage at the first attempt. But the company was not deterred, continued to develop and presented the TR2 in 1953 and the TR3 two years later, creating a first-class sales success. To this day, the TR2/3 models are popular English roadsters with a reputation for robustness. This report portrays a Triumph TR3 from 1953 and tells the adventurous story of the TR3, of which over 85,000 were built, illustrated with almost 90 historical and current pictures and four original brochures.
