Using the six cylinder engine first seen in the Standard Vanguard in 1961 and 4 speed manual gearbox (overdrive and 3 speed automatic were options), the monocoque body had independent suspension all round using coil springs. The servo assisted brakes were disc at the front and drums at the rear. Triumph's 2000 competed with the contemporary iconic Rover P6/2000, which initially was offered only with a four cylinder engine. An overdrive is sometimes a separate unit that fits into the back of a gearbox, as with this Fairey unit. ...

In 1968 the 2.5 PI Mark I was launched, fitted with a Lucas Automotive mechanical fuel injection system. Performance was very good, but the PI models gained a reputation for unreliability and poor fuel economy. In Australia these models suffered badly because of the summer heat. The electric fuel pump commonly overheated causing fuel to vapourise and render the engine inoperable until it cooled down. Because of the launch late in the Mark I's life, there are relatively few PIs in the original shape. Lucas Automotive was a famous manufacturer of automotive components for the motor industry. ...

Triumph 2000 MkII In 1969, the Mark II range was launched, aping the look of the then-upcoming Triumph Stag grand tourer. There were entry-level 2000 models, which were the most plentiful, but the remainder of the range consisted of 2500, 2500 TC and 2500 PI models. Apart from the PI models, all Triumph 2000 and 2500s had twin Stromberg or SU carburettors, hence the twin carbureted configurations of these cars were designated with the prefix 'TC'. In 1975 the 2500S model, with 14 inch (356 mm) wheels and anti-roll bar, was added and replaced the PI models. The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. ...

The Mark II, the last big Triumph car, ceased production in 1977, supplanted by BL's corporate executive car, the Rover SD1: Six cylinder 2300 and 2600 versions of the new Rover would nonetheless be powered by engines derived from the Triumph 2000. A few Triumph 2000s were still being registered in New Zealand as late as 1979, and many were still on the road in the 1990s.
