Triumph 2000 Mk I Saloon

The original, introduced at the London Motor Show in 1963. Shown here from the very first press releases, with two-tone paintwork. The refined, although even at the time fairly dated, 2 litre 6 cylinder engine was one of the main selling points, together with independent suspension on all wheels. Giovanni Michelotti, was responsible for the distinctive styling.

The Mk 1 was marketed in North America as the TR2000.

Triumph 2000 Mk I Estate

The load carrier, to please family motorists. Introduced in 1965, the bodies were prepared by Carbodies of Coventry, being supplied with half finished shells from the saloon line at Pressed Steel in Swindon.

Except for harder suspension, mechanically similar to the saloon.
