Introduced in 1963, the Triumph 2000 alongside the Rover 2000, created an 'executive' saloon class. In 1965 an estate version was introduced, with a body by Carbodies of Coventry. Early 2000s used a straight six but in 1968 an injected version, the 2500 PI, was added, giving improved performance. The PI was replaced in 1975 by the 2500S, having a twin carburettor 2.5 litre and better ride and handling.

The 2000/2500 was the last large Triumph saloon. It was discontinued in 1977 for the 2300/2600 versions of the Rover SD1. The final production figure was an impressive 316,962 cars. This estate, built in May 1977, was the last of the 2000/2500 model to come off the assembly line.
