The Triumph 2000 is a mid-sized, rear wheel drive automobile which was produced in Coventry by the Triumph Motor Company between 1963 and 1977. It was introduced on 15 October 1963.[6] It was styled by Giovanni Michelotti.[7][8][9] [10] It competed with the contemporary Rover P6 2000, which initially was offered only with a four-cylinder engine. The Rover was also released in October 1963, just one week before the Triumph.[11] Larger-engined models, known as the Triumph PI and Triumph 2500 were also produced from 1968. Engine The 2000 used the six-cylinder engine first seen in the Standard Vanguard at the end of 1960.[12] However, the last of the six cylinder Vanguards had applied a compression ratio of :1 which the increasing availability of higher octane fuels enabled the manufacturers to increase to :1 for the Triumph.[13] This and the fitting of twin Stromberg 150 CD carburettors made for a claimed power output increased to 90 bhp (67 kW; 91 PS) from the Vanguard's 80 bhp (60 kW; 81 PS). Running gear Standard transmission on the original car was a 4-speed manual gearbox: overdrive and Borg-Warner Type 35 3-speed automatic transmission were options.[13] The unitary body had independent suspension all-round with semi-trailing arms at the rear, all using coil springs. The servo-assisted brakes were disc at the front and drums at the rear.
