1949 Other Makes Triumph Roadster Model 2000 for sale
Current customer rating: (274 votes ) based onThe Triumph 200 Roadster is the world's last rumble seat automobile [referred to as the dickie seats]. They are also trimmed in matching leather and have chromed plated elaborate hinges. Yes the semiphores [turn signals] work. In fact they are NOS.
I still have the paint code and some extra paint. The color is a 1957-59 Reutter-bodied Porsche color called Auratium Green; which is almost an exact color match to the Triumph's factory green and is quite striking. I did leave an area of the original paint untouched inside the gas cap door for comparison should a judge ever want proof of the correct color. It is spot-on.
The Triumph Roadster Club in England as well as the Chapters here in the US have been very helpful in sourcing the correct parts to restore this car. The new owner will absolutely want to join the Club. They are a great group.
Additional facts: The entire body is aluminum wrapped around a wooden sub-structure; with the exception of the front fenders which are steel. All the body panels are 'factory'. The floors are wooden as well. In fact. brand new. The dash board is veneered with many coats of high gloss varnish done by one of the best wood finishers on the country. The entire car is leather. even the door panels which utilize three different leathers. The door panels are a work of art in themselves. Since this was a frame-off restoration; every nut and bolt has been re-finished or replaced. You can eat off the undercarriage. If you're interested in purchase. I currently have the car on a hydraulic lift in my heated garage for easy inspection.
Why is the price so high?? If you're wondering why the price is over $100K when you can buy these cars in Europe for about $50K. What you don't know is most of the Triumph owners just are not willing to take a car like this to the level of restoration that you see here; and spend 7 years of their life doing it. I only own the finest cars in the the world. and this car is no exception. So for those broke-ass car guys that criticize people like me for doing things 'correctly' and have a 'no expense spared' attitude; you can just remain 'average' like your cars. No one has ever called my restorations 'average'.
There are no disappoints here. You are simply buying the finest there is. period. Tom Griffith/Madison. WI 608. 212. 8774
