trchris Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 Does anyone know what colour the instrument bezels on an early 250 should be? Mine are , underneath the black , chrome but almost every other 250 I’ve seen they’re black the same as 5s however I’ve seen one or two which have chrome bezels I’m confused as to what they should be as mine is an early build 250 Chris Quote
harlequin Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Hi Chris It may be worth asking about your instruments over on the Triumph Experience https://www.triumphexp.com/forum/tr5-and-tr250-forum.25/ there's lots more 250 owners over there George Quote

Nick Mathias Posted August 5 Report Posted August 5 Chris, I have a late TR250 with original instruments and the bevels are black. Nick Quote
saffrontr Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 Nick, Attached is an image from the TR250 press release and in the text it confirms that the instrument rims are black compared with the more usual chromed bezels. Cheers Derek Quote

saffrontr Posted August 8 Report Posted August 8 Stuart, the TR250 brochure and press pack both make mention of the leather covered shift knob so maybe this this was a pre-production car and the leather knob didn't make it to the production line? It isn't mentioned in the optional equipment section of the brochure either so who knows. Derek Quote

Maybe they found the production versions came off in your hand like most of that type available today. Stuart. Quote

I assumed from the start that was an Amco accessory. Quote
