Faults:

Had to remove and clean the clutch slave cylinder.

General Comments:

This car is a gem to drive.

It's got the most beautiful sounding exhaust note, will out corner most mass produced modern cars, and it never fails to attract attention to itself.

The car has been slightly worked prior to me buying it, but it's no race car, but could be made to go quite quickly if you wanted it to.

Stylish cruising saloon.

Love the wood dash.

Faults:

Radiator.

Gearbox idle shafts.

Steering rack replaced.

All wheel bearings replaced.

Engine mounts replaced.

Springs and shocks replaced.

General Comments:

A fast comfortable car, capable of towing heavy loads. A bit thirsty round town, but great on a long run.

Excellent vision and ventilation compared to more modern cars.

Spacious boot and big doors. Good rear seat legroom.

Faults:

Shock absorbers have become rather 'spongy'

Rust is beginning to become a problem around the sills.

Interior is very worn, especially driver's seat.

General Comments:

The car is a good all round performer with a blinding kick-down at 30 MPH.

Chassis is excellent for age.

The car is very comfortable and equipment level is good.

Faults:

Some rust.

Spongy shockers.

Brake pads need replacing.

The seat velour linings have started to fray and wear.

General Comments:

I've had two 2500TC'c prior to picking up the "S" which was in very good condition.

The car is quick, and cruises easily at 110km/h, with low revs, however it is a bit heavy around town.

The timber dash and door trim are quite flash, and always draws comment from passengers.

The car is a stylish cruiser, which I use on a daily basis.

Faults:

Gearbox bearings, the usual rust, blown alternator, cracked windscreen, more rust :)

General Comments:

Still the most satisfying car I've ever driven, especially given the gorgeous exhaust note!

Horrifically uneconomical (27mpg on a run if you're lucky), but fast enough to scare many modern cars.

Very comfortable, if a little soft on the springs - or maybe my car needs new shocks.

I'd *never* sell it!

Faults:

Brake wear, viscous coupling failure, bad running due to worn carbs. Some rust.

General Comments:

I have had nine big Triumphs and always find them to be utterly reliable and they've got character as well. Easy to maintain and good handling. A bit slow compared to modern cars, but very comfortable, real wood as well. Fuel consumption is high. Underrated classics. Buy one before the secret gets out.
