This 1968 Triumph TR250 was reportedly sold new in Southern California, where it spent time before being moved to Connecticut in 1980 and subsequently acquired by the current owner in 1983. Work in 1992 consisted of a repaint in red along with replacement black upholstery, carpets, and door panels. A 2.5-liter inline-six delivers power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, and a replacement black soft top is fitted along with chrome knock-off wire wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, a wood dash panel, and a Moto-Lita steering wheel. Work since 2020 has reportedly included overhauling the carburetors and replacing the fuel pump, alternator, clutch, coolant hoses, brake wear components, dampers, heater control valve, and turn signal switch. This TR250 is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with spare parts, a tool kit, a black top boot and tonneau cover, a copy of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, service records, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.
The car was finished from the factory in Jasmine Yellow and was repainted in red during refurbishment work that is said to have been completed in 1992. Exterior details include a replacement black soft top, a matching top boot and tonneau cover, a silver front stripe, a driver-side mirror, bright trim, and twin exhaust outlets. The exterior trim was reportedly replaced under current ownership along with the brightwork and weatherstripping.
Chrome-finished wire wheels are secured by knock-offs and mounted with 185-series Coker Classic redline tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The brake master cylinder was reportedly replaced in 2020 along with the front rotors and pads, brake hoses, rear wheel cylinders, and dampers.
The interior is said to have been refurbished in 1992 and is equipped with low-back bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery with white piping. The cabin features a color-coordinated dash pad, door panels, and carpets as well as a wood dash panel and black Triumph-branded rubber floor mats. The heater control valve was reportedly replaced in April 2020 and a replacement turn signal switch was installed in August 2022. The blower motor is non-functional and a used replacement blower motor is included with the car.
A Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that consists of a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Auxiliary gauges are located in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 83k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added during current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 2.5-liter inline-six is equipped with twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors that the seller states were overhauled in April 2020. Further work reportedly included cleaning the fuel tank, flushing the coolant, and replacing the fuel pump, coolant hoses, alternator, and an oil line.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch is said to have been replaced in 2022.
Documentation accompanying the car includes service records, a copy of a 1983-dated Connecticut Report of Sale document, and a copy of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate detailing factory colors, equipment, serial numbers, and production information.
