1968 Triumph TR250 – Signal Red, Rebuilt Engine, Overdrive, Restored

This 1968 Triumph TR250 is a beautifully restored example finished in Signal Red over a black interior, powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and desirable overdrive. Having benefited from a comprehensive restoration, the car presents in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. A full engine rebuild was completed in 2014, followed by a gearbox, differential, and Stromberg carburetor overhaul in 2017. Updates also include refreshed suspension and brakes, and the car is topped with a new Mohair convertible soft top.

Inside, the cabin remains clean and well-preserved, with a leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel adding a sporting touch to the otherwise original presentation. The odometer shows 97,425 miles, and the car is offered by its third recorded owner. This TR250 represents a turn-key British classic with desirable upgrades and a refined restoration.
