1968 Triumph TR250

Our TR250 is the latest, and probably the last (unless I find a TR5!) Triumph that we have owned. My wife and I have also owned a 1973 Spitfire 1500 and a 1973 Stag. We purchased the TR250 in 1988 in Alabama after getting a lead on the car from J. K. Jackson of Talahassee, Florida. The TR250 is mostly original except for the 7" panasports (obtained through J.K.) and 205/65-15 Reiken rubber. For a car that is over 25 years old, it still looks great and is loads of fun to drive.

We have taken our Triumphs to several events including VTR national conventions, Canadian Classics, and Roadster Factory Summer Picnics.

The following information on our TR250 was obtained through a Production Record Trace from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust.
