The Triumph TR250 was built during the same period for the North American market. Price pressures and tighter emission regulations resulted in twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors being fitted instead of the TR5's Lucas fuel injection system. Otherwise it is nearly identical.
The TR250's engine delivered 111 bhp (81 kW), 39 bhp less than the TR5; 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) acceleration took 10.6 seconds.[2][9] The TR250 was also available with the Surrey Top system.
In 1968, the TR250 sold in North America for approximately $3,395, with wire wheels an $118 option, overdrive $175, and air conditioning $395.[10]
