Impressive looks¦Impressive Engineering¦if you think this classic car looks inviting, you should see the price tag!

These are the last big Triumph's – a truly awesome loking classic, that represents a pinnacle in over a decade of Triumph engineering development. Yet, it still retained the original touches of walnut, where others made do with plastic.

ABOUT THIS CAR

• Four owners from new – first for 24 years, second for 11 years¦this car has the smoothness and silence of the old 2000TC, the performance of the 2500TC, and a little extra refinement of its own. 
• The engine is a long-stroke six-cylinder of 2,498 c.c. It is, an old-style iron engine, that gives adequate performance in conjunction with a four-speed gearbox having overdrive on third and top.
• The power is delivered smoothly and quietly, helped by good sound insulation.
• The gears are changed by a substantial non-spring-loaded lever with long movements. It is a pleasant car to use unhurriedly, and the very convenient flick-switch for bringing in overdrive is on the lever's knob.
• The clutch is smooth, the disc/drum servo single-circuit brakes also smooth, light and progressive. The central handbrake has an enormous grip and small movements.
• Comfort is the key-note of this big Triumph. The seats are large and well padded, the steering column adjusts for rake, and there is ample ventilation from side eyeball and central adjustable fresh-air grilles.
• The trim is simulated leather and walnut cappings on doors and facia. Pile carpets, well fitted, add the required touch of luxury.
• There is a vintage look about the facia, with scattered instruments on a wood background. A clock, with seconds hand on the left is augmented by heat, voltage and fuel-level gauges and the matching, white-digit Smiths speedometer and tachometer. The circular Triumph warning-lights cluster and the rotary lamps'-switch extending from the steering-column are retained, as are the two control-stalks.
• All knobs are large and well symbolled, the three-spoke steering wheel has a leather-covered rim, quarter-lights are provided in the front doors, and the new 2500S looks every inch a Triumph, although the new-style cast-alloy wheels and the new badge with emphasis on the "S", single it out.
• The all-independent coil-spring suspension gives an easy ride on normal roads and the power steering, if a little vague, allows three turns from lock-to-lock to be used, for quick response, with a small turning-circle.
• The engine does not belie its ancient ancestry unless well and truly extended and at 120kph on a Motorway the engine speed drops to 2,650 r.p.m. if overdrive is engaged, a very restful pace.
• The pedals are large but wide-spaced.
• The heater on the central console has sensible and nicely-contrived controls.
• Stowage is provided on under-facia shelves and in a lockable, wood-lidded cubby hole.
• Condition is mint – photos say it all.

For those who appreciate a car of crisp Michelotti outward styling, combined with a vintage specification and interior, the Triumph 2500S is the one to look for.

Good examples are becoming very hard to come by nowadays – definitely an appreciating classic.
