TR2/3/3A 1950's Triumph TR2 Francorchamps coupe

Couldn't resist picking up the current issue of Triumph World magazine (the August/September issue).

There is an article about a neat coupe called the TR2 Francorchamps. The company/coachbuilder Imperia assembled Triumph's in Belgium and came up with their own design as well. It's basically the TR2 with a fixed roof design, very pretty... They only made about 20 of them due to various reasons so you won't see many of them in pictures let alone in person.

Also of personal interest were articles about the Triumph Renown saloon and a replica of the 1964 Spitfire race cars built for LeMans, plus Triumph Herald police cars.

For $11, good bang for the buck this issue. I only purchase the occasional Triumph World magazine but often find it to be enjoyable reading even as a non-Triumph owner.

Piggot's "Original TR2/3/3A" has a section on the Francorchamps and the Italia (which I think is a little prettier)

But (as if you couldn't guess from my signature) I'm partial to open cars.
