Have they no ambition? They should leave it exactly as is and mount it on a plinth. Be worth millions...

I have had all the variations of 2000/2.5 in my time, and in my opinion the 'S' version wasn't a patch on the mk1 2.5 PI.
In fact, the S model with its inferior build quality, increased ride height, and tendency to rot before your very eyes
made it one of the worst models they produced...
Looks like will have to disagree on this one.In fact, the S model with its inferior build quality, increased ride height, and tendency to rot before your very eyes

Yes they tended to rust,name a 70s BL product that didn`t?
Inferior build quality? The S we had was certainly better than our 1972 2000 and 1969 MK1, but yes build quality was patchy on all versions.
Increased ride height,due to the 14" alloy wheels and 175 tyres.This didn`t stop it from being the best handling big Triumph.
2.5Pi great car,when it was running properly.
Some other S facts, the rarest saloon, less than 6000 made, the best equipped, O/D, pas,alloy wheels, seat belt warning light, hazard warning, amongst other things, the most economical,due to the high gearing, the only car in the range to have a front anti roll bar,hence the best handling.
Yep it sounds like one of the worst models ever built, if you would have said it was the most expensive I would have agreed with you

Yes we will have to disagree. I was nearly persuaded by the seat belt warning light, but the leather interior on the mk 1 swung it for me.Yes they tended to rust,name a 70s BL product that didn`t?
