Quick introduction

#1 Post by simon.williams » Mon Jan 20, 2025 11:50 am

Hi everyone and thanks Mike for letting me in.

My name is Simon, and I now have a (mainly) shiny LHD 2.5PI in my garage which has been stood for 20 years, so I am going to be taking my time in getting it back on the road.

I'm impressed by how solid these cars seem to be (with the exception of the sill & lower wheel arches on the drivers side which I think are going to be my biggest challenge....).

I'm also a Stag owner - I recognise a few usernames from the SOC so hello again!

Simon

Hi Simon,
Hello and welcome to the Forum! I'm sure you will find a wealth of information here and within the Triumph 2000 Register! A LHD drive 2.5 PI sounds very interesting - especially as a friend of mine and a recent new member of the Register who lives near Manchester has also recently bought a LHD 2.5PI. I've not seen it as yet, but apparantly it's very solid, with just a degree of tidying up needed.
It's probably a slightly better climate than the UK that has help them survive!

Hi Simon,
Rightly said - these cars are solid, even with a little bit of TLC that may be required!! They are great cars, look good, and sound good out on the road. Best of luck with your plans!!!!

Thanks for the welcome. So far it’s been nice and easy to work on, stripping down the brakes and other bits & pieces and tidying up the engine bay. Today was cleaning up and re-spraying the servo vacuum tank. It’s great when every little task gives a small improvement!
