TS1LO is the official commission number of the very first production Triumph TR2 ever built. As the foundational vehicle for the entire legendary Triumph TR sports car lineage, it holds an incredibly significant place in British automotive history. “TS1" represents the very first chassis built in the production line. “L" indicates Left-Hand Drive - manufactured for export to North America. “O" confirms that the car was equipped with a factory overdrive transmission. Built in 1953, TS1LO was shipped to Canada to serve as the premier display car for the Toronto Motor Show. The vehicle originally left the factory painted in Pearl White with a vibrant Geranium (red) interior upholstery, matching soft top, and removable side curtains. Early production elements included rear wheel aerodynamic "spats" (fender skirts). TS1LO is the premier vehicle at this year's All Triumph Drive In in Madras, Oregon
