Triumph TR2 Picture Credits

Every picture on the site, in the order it first appears, with what it shows, its photographer and licence, the pages it is on and the address of its file, and every film it embeds.

How they are chosen

Every picture here may be reused freely: each is in the public domain or under a Creative Commons licence. Wikimedia Commons supplied most of them and Flickr the rest, and three are press photographs of 1954 and 1955 by Anefo, the Dutch agency, whose pictures the Nationaal Archief has released into the public domain. Most of the licences ask for a credit, so each picture carries one wherever it is shown, and the list below gathers them. Every picture appears as its source published it, though a frame may crop it.

The pages on the Belgian coupé, the works cars of 1955 and the people open on a stand-in (another TR2, a place or a detail of the car); its caption says what it shows and that it is not the subject, and it is labelled "Stand-in" on the picture and at the start of its caption.

Each film is listed below with its YouTube channel; the pages play them in YouTube's privacy-enhanced player.⁠source 1​source 2
