Sold the Consul to an old boy called Bob from Basildon for £2500. The P6 (Roy) is in the workshop being prepped for repaint then he will be sold as well. I'll post a few piccies when he's all done. 8-)

Reckon the Cortina will make silly money but i've got my eye on this:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1976-TRIUMPH-2500-TC-GREEN-/110570972343?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19be8b24b7
I have had quite a few 2000s and a couple of 2.5 pi's
but the facelift 2000s and 2500(post 73) were IMHO crap as not only did they lose a lot of their original MK2 character with the raised ride height rubber bumper inserts and plastic grilles ect. but the build quality and rustproofing was dire with the result that most of the post 73 models fell apart or rotted away far,far quicker than earlier mk2/mk1 versions. I would inspect that one VERY carefully for rust :y

There's something about those cars. Not sure what but I like it. Those minilites look good on it too. :-*

I know what you mean. A CLOSE mot & a thorough valet can disguise a nightmare later on. I also prefer the Mk1 Triumph 2000's but they're getting thin on the ground now.

Me Dad had a yellow version of the Triumph, I loved it as a kid. And is where I got my liking for wooden dash/interiors. Cracking cars, if memory serves, it was probably a shed...what is they say? Never meet your idols? :)

I don't, and normally hate them, especially on Minis. ;) I just think they look good on that car. The standard Triumph wheels were incredibly dull IMHO.

In the eighties .....I owned a 'P'reg 2500S......twin SU carbs ...not fuel injection. It made a lovely noise as it was basically the same engine as in the TR5/6......It came with Stag wheels too.  :y :y :y :y :y :y...Oh ...I should say that it did only about 14 MPG....after I'd had a go at the carbs with a Colourtune..!!!!!... :-/ :-/....mine also had overdrive on second.....third and top gear.

So what does TC stand for then?
I've wondered that since my uncle had one when I was a lad.
