I contacted a guy called mjb from the list admin as I have not had an email from the list for months, at least, so thought something was wrong .......... anyway decided to send a post and its seems OK from your responses. I guess maybe there was just no mail. Although all the responses seemed to be from your personal emails and not the list but maybe that's how you posted them. Just a little about myself and my cars - I live in Sydney Australia (North/Western Suburbs)..... 1. 69 Mk1 PI Saloon Auto (Yellow) 2. 69 Mk1 PI Saloon Overdrive TR6 Cam (White) 3. 71 Mk2 PI Saloon Auto (White) 4. 77 2500S Overdrive (Red) 5. 76 Stag Auto (Maroon) So I basically qualify as some sort of PI nut therefore - I love these engines. I follow the Stag digest and 6-pack digest(due to technical similarities) but wanted to share more experiences with the saloon so was wondering where all the discussions have gone. I'd love a TR6 if they weren't so damn expensive. I have heard most of your names whilst I've been following the marquee and the lists over the years - I had my first Triumph a 69PI Mk1 4 speed manual when I was 18 and now 54 years old. Egil, I have read your expansive writings on injection and enjoyed that immensely... hope I have the right man here. Anyway so that's a bit about me - it's a pity there is not much happening on the Saloons on the list. I guess, being late at night now I can't think of much to say but probably post some stuff over the next few days. I drive all my cars as much as possible - you could say they are all nearly daily drivers if there was only enough days for that to be possible. Anyway look forward to sharing some more posts - if there is another forum that you guys are aware of please let me know.

I have a question. What range of Triumph Saloons were exported to the USA.??? I never realized there was any but from your collections I'm thinking they must have. I noticed you are all referring to 2000 range so can I assume there were no 2500cc cars as in Mk2 series. My collection are all 2500's mostly injected. Were there any injected saloons sold in USA (Mk1 or Mk2).??? My Triumph disease actually was my mums fault as she owned a 1971 Mk2 2000 way back at my impressionable age of 16 years - from then I had to have one. I remember that thing revved very smoothly - more so than the longer stroke 2500 - but I always complained to my parents about why they didn't buy the PI so I bought my own, albeit some years later and alas not brand new like theirs. Re how it revved - just goes to show you should not let your teenage sons borrow your new cars - I have remembered this for my sons however. Anyway, good to hear from many of the members - can't think of much more interesting to say at the moment ... at some time I would like to talk about performance enhancements you may have all done - engine/suspension. One of my cars, 2500PI Mk1 69 overdrive, was converted by previous owner to TR6 cam with injection - not sure if he got it quite right as I'm sure it should go a little better than it does - maybe more on that later. Another thing I would like to do is post some photos but excuse my ignorance but don't know the best way to go about this using the list or otherwise.

The Mayflower was designed for the US but was a dismal failure over here. I own the single Vanguard Sportsman that was supposed to replace the Renown but was never launched here...shown at the '56 New York Auto Show but never introduced. Standard-Triumph got more serious with the 10; it was sold over here as a Triumph 10 rather than a Standard 10, both sedans and estates were sold, although not too many. Next up was the Herald, sold mainly as a convertible over here, and we also got a version of the Mk. I Vitesse 1600, again mostly convertibles, sold over here as the Triumph Sports 6. I'm not saying Heralds are common, but they are probably the most plentiful Triumph sedan on this side of the pond. In '65-'66-'67, Triumph imported just over 1800 2000 Mk. I sedans. Not a success; too expensive vs. American v-8's, etc. That was their final attempt at bringing over a family car. All others are private imports; my Estate was special ordered for US use from Triumph of Ireland (Eire), and my sedan was also special ordered, picked up in Coventry and driven on the continent for about a year and a half and then shipped back to the US. We didn't get any PI's (heck, we didn't get any TR6 PI's either!) or Mk.II's...or Dolemites/Toledos/etc... I am putting a TR6 engine/OD tranny (but the OD is from a 2000) into the Estate, as the BW35 and original engine were toast and I don't like automatics anyway... You can see my blog on the refurbishment at http://2000estate.blogspot.com Hope this helps! Great to hear from you!

Talking of sons and Triumphs - Yes my 23 year old son has decided he will drive my Red 2500S now - he has his own beloved 97 BMW 328i Manual Coupe (washed daily I think) but he reckons the 2500S handles better around town and gets far more admiring comments and offers to buy. Basically, I believe, he doesn't like all those grubby road miles getting to his BMW so drives the S instead, so not sure if I should be flattered or pissed off - never mind he hasn't managed to destroy it yet - it seems to be one strong car. Hell of a lot more reliable than the BM-er from past experience. Talk about Lucas "Prince of Darkness" ... I have never seen more headlights/taillights/fittings and bulbs etc blow than on this BM-er - I offered if he would like any of my 40 year old Lucas tail light bulbs from stripped Triumphs. Talking of sons again - same son - here is a scary story - he ran my car off a 35 foot high 65-70 degree sheer embankment at 80kmh all four wheels locked - on the way down luckily was stopped by thick lantana shrubs and then a another concrete embankment half way down. He climbed out of the car which had stopped near vertical, then climbed back up the embankment with a sort of shocked cheesy grin - luckily of course not a scratch on him. To be fair there was a mechanical failure whereby the accelerator pedal(stopper bolt) has got stuck in the under carpet foam underfelt so pushed him full throttle into a curve. The car was written off obviously but cabin and really the whole body was well intact...only thing really wrecked was the front suspension undercarriage as he hit the gutter under full braking - should have used this as a crash dummy test of sorts. Car was a 72 2.5PI Auto. We salvaged the engine and many parts - BTW - engine was AOK despite being stuck at full revs, car near vertical, for about 30 seconds before he managed to turn it off with the key. PI's rev very hard at near full throttle with no load on rear wheels. One interesting thing was the front wheel impact on the concrete gutter was so severe it smashed the front cast brake disc up like a biscuit... snapped in multiple places, yet the, notorious for failure, front stub axle had not broken. I watched this all unfold as he drove up the road from my home and disappear over a cliff 150 metres from where I stood - this was a really nasty experience but he has learnt too slow down a lot - probably was worth the loss of the car - the insurance paid up as a bonus - main thing he was OK. Anyway there you go ... another Triumph tale to tell.

The Mayflower was designed for the US but was a dismal failure over here. I own the single Vanguard Sportsman that was supposed to replace the Renown but was never launched here...shown at the '56 New York Auto Show but never introduced. Standard-Triumph got more serious with the 10; it was sold over here as a Triumph 10 rather than a Standard 10, both sedans and estates were sold, although not too many. Next up was the Herald, sold mainly as a convertible over here, and we also got a version of the Mk. I Vitesse 1600, again mostly convertibles, sold over here as the Triumph Sports 6. I'm not saying Heralds are common, but they are probably the most plentiful Triumph sedan on this side of the pond. In '65-'66-'67, Triumph imported just over 1800 2000 Mk. I sedans. Not a success; too expensive vs. American v-8's, etc. That was their final attempt at bringing over a family car. All others are private imports; my Estate was special ordered for US use from Triumph of Ireland (Eire), and my sedan was also special ordered, picked up in Coventry and driven on the continent for about a year and a half and then shipped back to the US. We didn't get any PI's (heck, we didn't get any TR6 PI's either!) or Mk.II's...or Dolemites/Toledos/etc... I am putting a TR6 engine/OD tranny (but the OD is from a 2000) into the Estate, as the BW35 and original engine were toast and I don't like automatics anyway...

I can echo what you said re reliability. I've never not been able to get home after the very rare breakdown - its usually just tweak a wire - throw some water on the injection pump, stic a pencil under the throttle lever when the cable breaks or nearly use a tool of the side of the road like a tree twig - try that in your Prius. I have modern cars as well and not only do they breakdown more but when they have (which is 3 times since new 9 years ago) its been a tow truck everytime. German engineering I think they call it- "engineered like no other car", they say. That's probably just as well in some cases. Anyway - I digress. It's too late in the day (well morning) to think of nything intelligent to ask - yes I have rust and a mig welder luckily and a can of fish oil and that gets me by. These days the engines are starting to get a bit tired - they have had no major engine work so that will be coming up now after 30 to 40 years and I don't look forward to the money or the weight of the work.

Don't you have any problems? Is there nothing you want to share with other listmembers? Maybe are your Triumph saloons rusted away or otherwise fallen apart. Maybe you nowadays rely on more modern hightec energyefficient superbe cars like the Toyota Prius. If that's the case you should not be on this list. ==AM== My only related "news" is that I sold my '66 2000 several years ago, after an "offer I couldn't refuse" (and the fact that I knew I was never going to have time to get it goint)! So I now rely on my energy-efficient LOW-TECH '62 Herald 1200! --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...

Here are photos of my MK 2. The shipping company caught it on fire when I was moving overseas. After much debate, the company finally admitted liability, but we still are negotiating the paint respray. Kind of looks like burnt toast.
