1977 Triumph 2500S review from UK and Ireland
"A well-kept seventies secret"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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!
