The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

I registered my 2500s estate last friday and happily did ca. 150mls in it. Starts first time, never misses a beat and drives quite well, except that it feels very powerless and wont rev past 3.500-4000.
On very low revs you can feel the grunt that comes from the capacity but over ca. 2500rpm that´s ...

Hello Lee,
This sounds like an interesting project. I quite like the look of the early Stag 14" steel wheels with stainless steel trims fitted to a Pi(didn't the facelift Pi's have them anyway ...

Price is in NZ Dollars. About 1500 GB pounds.

Hi Tony,
IMHO £1500 is not too far off the mark for the Pi for sale. I would think in the UK it would more likely be offered for sale at around £2000-£2500, as it is a low mileage, tidy example. Book values for genuine 2.5/2500 'Pi' and 2500 'S' cars ...

The later type of conversion has a more complex, self adjusting arrangement with a flat seal on a spring loaded plate. This is supposed to work better, but I've never had one to examine.

Worth a look maybe?


Hi,
I had a look at the spin-on filter assembly today on my Pi and found I had one of ...

There is another possibility -
