Random # 11: TriUMPH 2.5 PI Mk 1 Estate


UMPH is a sucker for a limited edition or a rarity.  Anything that's a bit unusual is always going to grab his attention, so he was well chuffed when he saw this interesting TriUMPH 2.5 PI estate outside MG and British car specialist David Short's North Hobart workshop.

The overdrive would've been quite an advancement in its day, as it was on MGBs of a similar era.
Unique estate back.

Is this car too early for Leyland wheel-trims?

To the best of UMPH's limited knowledge, there were no TriUMPH 2000, 2.5 PI, 2500 TC or 2500 S estates officially imported into Australia, suggesting that the fine example shown above was bought into the country privately.  The older style Tasmanian rego plate indicates that it's been here for a few years at least.
