Joe Wright Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hello all. Here is my new Triumph 2000 estate. 1973 Mk 2 Estate. It says 2000 Tc on it but as it's a 1973 it technically isnt. If any of you watch car sos this is the Triumph you sometimes saw in the background being restored. The previous owner did the work with Fuzz and co for the first four series. Hope you like it. Its been fully restored so the car in my view is lovely. My only plans are to do some engine mods. Either work on the 2000 or put a tuned 2500 in it up to tr6 spec. Anyway I love it and hopefully will get to go to some shows etc. All the best Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a standard 2 litre but it drives beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Very nice, I do like a 2000/2500. I've seen it on the show and point it out to my wife every time! I'm on my third, you may have seen my 2500s estate I'm spraying now. I can't wait to be able to get out and about in it again. My mk1 used to surprise people at the lights! Love those straight six engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The do drive very well, better than some much more modern stuff. BMW must have been impressed at the time as well. Before making changes like bigger or more powerful engines try to meet up with a few people with tuned 2000 or 2.5s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
