Triumph Other models

The straight-six engine displaces 1,998 cm³ and was offered with either a carburettor or mechanical fuel injection depending on the version. The body came as a four-door saloon and a five-door estate, both around 1,435 mm tall and about 1,714 mm wide. The gearbox was available as a plain manual, a manual with overdrive, or an automatic, and the fuel tank held around 62.5 litres.

As a 1960s and 1970s saloon, the Triumph 2000 represents the British executive class of its era: rear-wheel drive, a torquey six-cylinder engine and an upmarket cabin finish aimed at both company car buyers and private customers. With 324,652 units built over the model's production run, the line was a major sales pillar for Triumph in the British mid-size saloon segment.

When buying a used Triumph 2000, the condition of the bodywork at the sills, wings and floor pan matters most, since British steel bodies of this era were highly prone to rust. On overdrive-equipped cars, a test drive should include engaging the extra gear, and on the fuel-injected 2.5PI the mechanical injection system deserves an expert check, as spare parts for it have become scarce.
