1977 Triumph 2500TC 2500 TC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap, usable classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking fuel-pipe (cost 10 NZD to fix)
A wheel-bearing went dead (cost 15 nzd)
Nothing really besides the high pitched whine from the diff (!)
Battery went dead. Not the cars fault.
General comments?
I bought the car for 400 NZD. Did NZ in six months in great comfort and outstanding reliability. Sold it for 750. Not bad. I wish I had a new one. Now (living in Denmark) I own a '67 Volvo Amazon, which is pretty similar to the triumph in appearance. But I do miss the elegant style and great soundtrack from the straight six.
