I feel sorry for this guy. He must be having one helluva
time telling people this "unheard of" car really exists. The
Triumph 2000 saloon and later estate was introduced in the
UK in 1963. Styled by Michelotti
and powered by the 2 litre 6 pot lump, it was on sale
in the US from 1963-67. It seemed to acquit itself very well
if the press reports are to be believed but the North
American public clearly had a different perspective - and
the car
did not sell as well as it did throughout the rest of the
world. Elsewhere it sold very well and was also made
in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Another version
sprouted the 2500 fuel injection engine and was a chariot
much favoured by the police.
