You might get away with it in Hobart, not much fun anywhere else in the country though - they just hate heat and tend to vapourise. I assume they have the same pump as the PI's, if they do keep 4L bottles of water in the boot to cool them down when they overheat. They have a bit of poke, the PI is the pick but the S & TC are ok too. My pref is for the auto over the overdriven 4spd. Macpherson struts, independant rear, twin carbs, comfy ride, good power, smiths gauges.
For <$500 you could do a lot worse. For >$500, you could do a lot better. #1 Tip - if you get it, put a starter button under the hood...... trust me, you'll thank me

Gee Scott, do you know about Triumphs? I use to be in their club...loved my Dolomite!
Power, comfort, handling....just lacked reliability.

I've got a mate with one and he reckons between his old Alfa Romeo, his Mk II Jaguar and the 2500s, it's the Triumph that spends most time being used.
Yes, he has plenty of spare time..... |
