1971 Triumph 2000 | Byfleet, Surrey

A 1971 Triumph 2000, the Coventry-built six-cylinder saloon that gave buyers a smooth, comfortable alternative to the Rover P6. Its Italian-styled body is smart and restrained, and independent suspension gave it the relaxed ride executive drivers liked. This car is finished in Maroon with a Beige interior, a warm pairing that sits well with the period lines. The upright four-door body is clean and uncluttered, and the cabin seats four. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre petrol six, the smooth engine the model was known for. Its straight-backed shape suits 1960s and 1970s film and television scenes, from boardroom arrivals to quiet suburban streets. The deep Maroon paint and pale interior give photographers and fashion and editorial teams a rich, simple palette, and the saloon body makes a neat backdrop for advertising and music video work. It also makes a calm choice for a wedding arrival. The car is based in Byfleet, Surrey.
