THE GOOD:
Miles: odometer shows 80k+, but it's rolled over.
Price: $4,500 US [ the carbs have been repaired ]
Description: This is a quite original Triumph 2000 4-door sedan. It has the Triumph 2.0 Liter 6-cylinder engine and the factory optional Borg-Warner Type 35 automatic transmission. The carbs are twin Zenith-Stromberg CD150s. This is the same engine and carbs as the Triumph GT6 Mk1, so those parts are easy to get. The Triumph Spitfire 1500 uses the same carb, although one, with a different engine.
New parts: front turn lenses (amber UK spec), front parking white lenses, triple-core radiator, left door lock & ignition switch & trunk lock (now installed), and wiper switch.
The fuel pump is electric replacing the original engine mounted pump.
The radio is modern with a removable faceplate and digital tuner w/ CD player slot behind faceplate(now works). Make is JVC.
The radiator now has a triple-core and an additional electric fan is mounted on the radiator.
The interior wood panels were replaced and the interior vinyl seats are in good order with the original style seat belt buckles and shoulder straps.
The headlights and high beams work. The switch was recently repaired.
The interior light works, recently repaired.

THE BAD:
There are a few rust spots on various places around the car. Several paint chips in the front.
The speedometer doesn't work. I've traced it to the transmission's speedometer drive gear. I have the replacement parts but not installed.
The engine has the typical British habit of leaking engine oil and transmission oil to mark its territory. :-)
The window of the left rear door is loose and comes off the track, so I leave it rolled up.
PAST: Radio sound didn't work, broken power wire, repaired, now works fine.
