“Just thought I would send a few photos of my TR2 for the gallery as I am getting close to the end of the restoration journey.”

The car is in the final fit out process and I am waiting for a trim delivery from the US. I have had the motor running after a complete rebuild although I do have a coolant leak I need to attend to.
I am expecting the car to be on the road in spring with aim of getting some return after 11 years of hard work. I believe I have previously noted that I have maintained a web page of the project which can be found at Triumph TR2 TS1852

The car is a long door TR2 bought in June 2001 via the Healey Factory. The car had been fitted with disc brakes, a high port head & an alternator (badly) when I got it. I haven’t done too much to it since (kids still at school = no money) other than the high torque starter (best investment & highly recommended).
Geoff James sent me through an ad from about 1996 for the car and a little bit of history that he had. It was a SA car until about 96-97 and there are no details since then other than it was sold to a Melbourne guy. It was supposedly restored in 95-96 but since I have had it for ½ of the time since then. It was either a poor restoration or had an extremely hard life since as it is in very average condition and needs a complete body rebuild. The motor seems sound enough but gearbox is not a long term proposition.
