The Triumph Roadster is a postwar British icon — hand-built craftsmanship, elegant styling, and the distinctive open-top experience that defined its era. At Smyth Imports, we specialize in Triumph Roadster repair and restoration for Cincinnati-area enthusiasts who value authenticity and precision. Whether you drive a 1800 or 2000 Roadster, our team understands the nuances of these early Triumph models — from the aluminum body panels to the classic Standard engine beneath the hood.
We combine vintage expertise with modern diagnostic tools, ensuring your Triumph Roadster performs reliably while preserving its original character.
At Smyth Imports, we specialize in the repair, maintenance, and restoration of the classic Triumph TR2 — one of the earliest British sports cars to establish Triumph’s reputation for performance and style. Known for its lightweight design and spirited driving experience, the TR2 requires expert care to maintain reliability and authenticity. Our technicians provide precision services that preserve originality while enhancing drivability and long-term performance.
The TR2’s gearbox is central to its agile driving character. Worn synchronizers, clutch wear, or fluid leaks can impact smooth shifting. We provide complete transmission rebuilds, clutch replacements, and differential servicing. Overdrive units, when equipped, are calibrated to ensure seamless gear engagement and dependable performance.
Classic TR2 electrical systems often experience faults due to age. At Smyth Imports, we perform full diagnostics, wiring repairs, alternator and starter rebuilds, and lighting restoration. Modern upgrades such as solid-state voltage regulators or improved fuse blocks can be discreetly installed to enhance reliability without compromising historical accuracy.
The TR2’s braking system is essential for both safety and driving enjoyment. We rebuild calipers, replace master and wheel cylinders, service drums and rotors, and upgrade lines where appropriate. Each service ensures proper pedal feel and optimal stopping performance.
The TR2’s 2.0L inline-four engine provides responsive performance that requires careful maintenance. Smyth Imports offers full engine rebuilds, including machining, balancing, carburetor tuning, and ignition optimization. We address leaks, restore compression, and fine-tune fuel delivery and timing for smooth, reliable operation while keeping the engine historically accurate.
The TR2’s classic lines demand meticulous attention. We repair rust, restore panels, and perform full paint refinishes in period-correct colors. Chrome trim, badges, and fittings are carefully refurbished, ensuring the car’s original style and value are preserved.
The TR2’s nimble handling is defined by its suspension and steering systems. We rebuild front and rear suspension components, replace worn bushings and shocks, and perform precision alignments. Steering repairs address play, stiffness, or vibration, restoring the precise, connected feel that makes the TR2 so rewarding to drive.
