1976 Triumph 2500TC Sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
"One of my best purchases"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than routine maintance and repair this car has been relatively faultless.
Car was rust treated from new - only significant corrosion was in a panel near the battery terminal - probably electrolitic in origin - now repaired.
However a respray will soon be required due to normal age breakdown of the surface paint coating. This was a locally assembled model which did not have the same quality of paint finish as the fully imported units.
General comments?
Body and interior are in above average condition as the car has been regularly garaged from new. A much under-rated car with an advanced suspension system for its day. It can still compete with modern luxury saloons for ride quality and comfort. Somewhat thirsty however in the absence of modern ignition control systems and a little under powered for its time.
For me I would not part with it for quits as I have now found a Triumph repair specialist which can do quality service and repairs.
