Triumph Roadster 1800/2000 Roadster in lovely restored condition 1946
General description :
We have a wonderful Triumph 1800 Roadster. This Triumph entered the general traffic in the UK on the 29th November 1946. This is an older top quality restored car. Bart Holland took care of the. restoration in 1998. The car then underwent a nut&bolt restoration in keeping with the vehicle’s authenticity. The car is currently still in great shape. The black paintwork is in good condition with only minimal signs of use. The hood is also in good condition and provides an all-round seal. The bodywork is still lovely. The Triumph 1800’s design dates back towards the end of the war. During that period they often relied on pre-war conceptions with updated characteristics. TheTriumph 1800 Roadster is a good example of this and 75 years later it still has that lovely typical appearance. The Triumph’s chassis is made up of a tubular chassis bolted to a wooden frame and mounted to the aluminium body panels. It is obvious that good ongoing care and attention have been lavished on this car since its restoration in the late 90’s. The condition of the aluminium body panels is still very fine with correct shut lines. The chassis is rock solid and in prime condition. The extensive amount of brightwork appears as if it had recently been re-chromed. The car’s interior is also very nice indeed. Usually car parts do not get any prettier as the get older. The one exception to this is well maintained high quality leather. The blue leather contrasts lovely with the black exterior paintwork and has weathered really well. The Dicky-seat also has the blue leather upholstery and its condition has been enhanced by the little use it has had. Furthermore the blue carpeting has worn extremely well. All of the wood veneer was replaced during the restoration. They used the original woodwork as a template to good effect and the result, even today, is still factory fresh. All of the dashboard instruments have been restored and are in good working order. A restoration is certainly not complete without the appropriate attention to the car’s mechanical aspects. You will not be surprised that this too was carried out to the highest standards. The 1.8 litre 4-cylinder engine was totally rebuilt. Apart from the engine, the gearbox and complete suspension has been brought back to new. Every bit of tubing, every gasket and every nut and bolt was refurbished. The suspension has also been re-painted. Even though the restoration took place some while ago, the car is still in excellent condition, thanks to the care and attention it has received over the last 20 odd years. All your hard restoration work would be quickly lost if a car is left to the elements. This Triumph 1800 Roadster comes with a huge amount of documentation. Besides the original English paperwork, there are many manuals and electrical schemes as well as the extensive photographic restoration rapport. The Triumph 1800 Roadster was a rarity when she first saw the day of light 75 years ago and has only become even more rare since. This is the car for the person that loves their Triumph and is looking for a good quality, stylish 1800 Roadster. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
