God Damn you Triumph owners these pics are really annoying.
I have now officially given up any hope of finding a Triumph 2.5 pi Estate and I wonder if they ever did exist. I guess it would be difficult for some people to understand the appeal of Triumphs and maybe its a generational thing but they kind of get under your skin especially if as an 18 year old your first car was a 12/50 Herald Convertible.
they do exist, see>>

I think the Triumph Vitesse Mk 2 Estate 1969 looks better?

No, it was a Rover V8 car, but I’ve fitted a 450hp BMW M5 Engine and a Tractive Sequential gearbox, there is very little triumph left in it!
eeklick damn, that sounds very good, great engine as well, with 450hp it must be around 2kg per hp that would be supercar territory cool

Triumph-Conrero Le Mans.

In 1961 Virgilio Conrero at his Autotecnica Conrero workshop in Italy was commissioned by Standard-Triumph to create a racing car for their Le Mans team, replacing the TRS models.

The car was to be built upon a space-frame chassis with aerodynamic coupe bodywork designed by Giovanni Michelotti. Power would come from triumph’s ‘Sabina’ DOHC 4-cyl 2.0litre engine tuned by Conrero to produce 165hp.

Four cars were planned but only one was completed following the take over by Leyland in 1962 with the project being stalled.
The single prototype seems to have travelled to the USA and sold but in 1980 was shipped back to the UK and in 2017 restoration by Graham Andrews commenced.
