Is it a 1 of 1 ? Kitcar ?

Has a 1599cc engine so likely Ford Crossflow .

not a bad looking thing , rather 1970s but that was when it was registered .

This ia why I don't take pictures of cars. I'm not very good and I miss all the decent stuff like the 911 Turbo S and new shape V8 Vantage.

A Bentley giving it both barrels. Excellent.

I'm going to assume this is rare enough for inclusion , better than a S3 Land Rover......



Pic might not show it but it's dark green , maybe a Bullitt edition ? .

Florida plates in Surrey ,not something you see everyday too .

5 minutes of research shows the reg is similar to the film car . JJZ 109 original .
[/footnote]

2nd edit , also saw 2 928s and an orange Gallardo whilst out .

3rd edit , the huge boot badge says Bullitt on it , didn't notice at the time .......

Tags are still valid - my guess is someone on a military deployment.

^^^ RHD in Vienna? That’s very cool. I spent some time driving around there in the 1990s in a couple of RHD Mk 3 Vauxhall Astra diesels. Not cool.

An absolutely beautiful triumph tr250 today in St neots. Only 8500 made and all for the US, this one though is RHD.
Either way a pretty rare little thing.

If it's a UK car, what would stop it being a TR5?

I reckon that's a TR5 - windscreen wipers give it away as an OEM RHD. The only thing that's American about it is the stripe which is readily available here ... still very nice though.

No idea, definitely badged as as a 250 though, you can see them on the rear qtr and had same on the boot.
Either way it was amazing condition

Either still here after the S9 supercar event or over for the TT.

Looks quite subtle in those colours - that boot is going to need a bit of work though.

I posted this very car on page 355 of the cool classic cars thread!

Definitely a TR250 which has been converted to RHD and unless modified has only a measly 105bhp compared to the European fuel injected 150bhp. Conversions from LHD to RHD are comparatively easy and vice versa.

Back in the day I don't think too many FI models produced 150bhp very often!

Anyway I went to a Classic Car meet yesterday morning and saw loads of gems, but this Maserati Indy stood out as I'm not sure I've ever seen one before.

I doubt that bit of fanciful marketing was unique to Triumph. Many manufacturers would tweak their press and test cars.
