The 2000 was one of Triumph's most popular cars and remained in production for nearly 15 years. The success of this car and increasing competition from other manufacturers encouraged Triumph to produce a model with a more powerful engine, and tightening US exhaust emission regulations led them to experiment with the still new-fangled technology of the fuel injection in the creation of the 2.5 P.I. In the 1970s the range was further modified, with the introduction of the 2500 and the related Stag. This book features detailed chapters on the 2000's rallying and racing fortunes, full specifications for each model and panels detailing the personalities, places and events that shaped the evolution of the Triumph 2000 series. Graham Robson is the author of "Triumph TRs".

This review is from: Triumph 2000 and 2.5pi: The Complete Story (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
The 2000 and 2500 was probably the biggest international success that Triumph had, and therefore this account of their history will have wide appeal. It tells the whole story of the car's history, from its development stages, to its production life. An interesting chapter is about the Zebu project, which was later abandoned, because it echoed the reverse-slope rear window seen in the very successful Ford Anglia 105 E. It is because of these, and other previously-unknown facts that this book is so highly recommended. Graham Robson knows these cars like nobody else, mainly because he worked for Triumph for many years. Some people might say that this makes him biased, but it is better to have the comments by someone who witnessed every stage of the car's development than those of someone who did not. However, there is one small point of criticism from a South African point of view. South Africa was the first country to introduce a twin-carburettor version of the 2,5 named the Chicane, and hardly any mention is made of this model. The author knows what is going on in South Africa, judging by previous books he has written, and for this reason, this is a surprising oversight. Despite this criticism, this book must be rated as a mandatory purchase for anybody who has owned these cars. For British car enthusiasts, this is a very interesting read, and it just shows that, with the demise of Triumph,enthusiasts have been deprived of what might have been a deadly BMW rival.
