Granted it's not the 2.5L, (a GT6 2L) but I (and a couple others here as
well) have F.I. triumph 6 cyls than run great!
Even with a trailer in tow,?? 31-35 mpg, is my norm ...with my normal
heavy footed driving style. (hard not to have fun).
No,,,not Lucas PI (on mine) but power numbers are well above anything
Triumph ever spec'ed.

Doubt you???ll find too many in the US with experience of
the system. PI cars were never sold in North America in
the day, though a very small number have snuck in since
then. A word of advice. If you???re tempted to fiddle with
