Hello Guys and Girls,
Thought I'd introduce my recently inherited old Triumph.
If you'd like leave your thoughts on the discussion thread:

It's a 1978 Triumph 2500TC. This one is an automatic running the twin carb 2.5 straight 6 under the bonnet. These engines made a grand total of 99 Horses at the crank when new.
This car has been in my family since new starting its life in Wellington and has been living at the beach in Matata since 1994 (hence the rusty exterior).
After my Grandfather passed the car came down to me, I have since relocated it to Auckland to begin tidying it up and bringing it back to how I remember as a kid.
A couple of pictures of it being picked up from Matata:
The bonnet had rusted quite badly (worse than it looks) , but the oil was fresh and with a bit of fresh fuel and persistence she fired up after having sat for 5 months.
I'll update with details of my parts hunt later on.
