There have been 3 owners from newThese models were mainly hand built and not in large numbers, we have been informed that only around 2000 of the 2000cc triumph roadsters were made and production ceased in October 1949. This example was built on 17th June 1949. It is in concours condition having had a chassis up restoration using all original fittings which we estimate would cost around £50,000 in today's market. Top speed is 85mph with 0-60 in 16 seconds which was really fast in its day and still performs very well in today's traffic. This fully restored vehicle which was styled by Frank Callaby is arrow straight and the restoration was completed some years ago. The high quality of the restoration is testament to the excellent condition you can see today. Clearly this car has been cared for to the utmost degree and driven with care too.
