The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Hi Luke

It's good not to buy the first car you see :D I'm still surprised it was a TC as late as '77 though rather than an S.

The TSOA South Australia http://www.tsoasa.com/ should be able to help you... gorgeous MK1 Estate on the home page.

I've seen some very nice cars come up in SA over the ...

Yes, Luke - what Canberra Triumph said.

A 1978 model can only be an 'S' rather than a TC, so it would be interesting to see what the car is.
Engine number and commission should begin MM ... if not then the engine has been replaced and you might want to ask questions. Likewise it should have 1.75 ...

Stoneleigh was my first ever Triumph show - when I lived in the UK I used to love it! Lots of bargains to be had.

There's a real buzz at Stoneleigh - I reckon it should be called "Springtime for Triumphs" - suddenly everyone comes out of their winter doldrums and those who aren't all-year-rounders ...

Also has anyone ever tried putting Saab 900 seats in a 2500...they seem narrow enough

I also looked at some nice ...

I know of a Mk1 with a Mk2 rear sub-frame that has TR6 wheels which were once on a Mk2... however, these have been modified in some way to fit. Not sure how exactly, though, something to do with reversing the centre. They look good. I like the TR6 wheels.

I wonder if 2500S distributors are different? The consensus seems to be that 2000 vacuum units are difficult to operate by sucking on the pipe. I'm not convinced that it indicates a problem.


In my time I've sucked on various distributors :lol: My GT6 had a 25D6 with electric tacho, the S ...

Have you got an in-line filter in the fuel line? If not, then it's time to fit one! You've probably got sludge in your tank or lines.

I think this thread shows just how shot a lot of people's distributors must be! :lol:

Lucas ones don't seem to last too well. Tend to develop a fair amount of lateral wear in the shaft. Remove the rotor arm and move from side-to-side. I've got a reconditioned one next to me and there's no ...

well I can almost smell Port Melbourne from here, but I'm pretty sure AMI doesn't exist in the form it did when they were knocking out saloons.

I don't exactly know who holds records, but I would have thought the elderly ladies first 'Port' of call :roll: should be one of the Australian Triumph ...

Andrew Avis in Queensland has a supercharged PI (or did when I met him). He didn't do it himself but he would be worth contacting:
