Chassis No. TRA1664

The Triumph 2000 Roadster, built by the Standard Motor Company, was a post-war British classic designed to rival Jaguar. Originally introduced in 1946 as the 1800 Roadster, the model transitioned to the 2000 in 1948, featuring a 2.1-liter Vanguard engine with a three-speed Synchromesh transmission. Its aluminum body, crafted using ex-RAF press tools from World War II, sat on an Ash wood frame, blending innovative design with limited resources. Notable features were seating for five that included two individual rumble seats with their own windscreen.

According to the British Motor Heritage Trust Certificate this 1949 Triumph 2000 Roadster was originally finished in Champagne paint over a Rust colored interior with a Fawn soft top as a right-hand-drive U.K.-market example. When built on 12 July 1949 it was fitted with dipping headlamps and a speedometer in miles per hour. Today, this elegant Roadster features an older restoration in black with a front end that wears Lucas King of the Road headlamps, accessory lighting, and is adorned with a plate topper bar that features both British AA and Triumph Roadster Club badging. The interior, along with the rear rumble seating, is upholstered in tan leather with tan carpeting with the driver's compartment featuring an attractive wood dashboard set with Jaeger instrumentation. Offered with a British Heritage Trust Certificate, tire pump, starting handle, jack, and grease gun, the Triumph 2000 Roadster is an elegant and useable entry into British classic car ownership.
