The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

It's been a long time, but now I no longer have the pressures of magazine deadlines to keep me awake (just publisher's deadlines for books!), I've started updating my blog. A lot of it is general and travel related, but there is still some classic car related stuff in it. https://kevinwarrington.blo...

Unfortunately, he has closed down. He worked from a number of temporary premises close to Bishops' Waltham in Hampshire and at one time was called "Seats Galore". Peopel often thought that he sold parts for Spanish cars now built by VW. I do recall that there were 2 colours definitely available at t...

Nylon covers come up on places like ebay from time to time. When I needed to get a seat in my car, which I no longer have, recovered I purchased a rear seat cushion cover and the upholsterer that I used was able to get the material from this. The upholsterer told me at the time that he had recently ...

I would say that it is impossible to get even close to an exact number. The web site howmanyleft makes a start, but this relies on the DVLA data, which is also accessible to anyone with a bit of digging.

Eventually, I was able to locate a replacement from a trader on ebay who dealt in Stag parts (I don't know why...

The ones on flickr come up with a Google search, but most unfortunately are too small for reproduction. I think I have a representative sample either here on on there way - thanks to all for your help. It takes about 2 or 3 hours per brochure to get the quality of scan needed, so it is a slow proces...

I might have posted this before in the past (I can't remember). I was speaking to an upholsterer years ago who did some work for me and who had recently at the time done a complete retrim on a Dolomite with brushed nylon seats. These were in the chocolate brown colour, rather than tan and as he expl...
