The seller offers for sale this 1972 Triumph 2000 Mk2, powered by a 2.0-litre inline-six engine, paired with a manual transmission. This Mk2 is finished in white with a dark blue roof and carries a period rally-style livery, complete with a competition number and sponsor-style decals, giving it plenty of character for use in classic rallies or touring events. Inside, the wood-trimmed dashboard and original instrumentation show the wear consistent with a car of this age and use, and the seller notes that the bodywork, interior and mechanical components may benefit from some attention. The engine bay shows evidence of past maintenance work, including Bosch components.

The Triumph 2000 was launched in 1963 as the marque’s smooth-running executive saloon, and the Mk2 update of 1969 brought a restyled front and rear end penned by Giovanni Michelotti, aligning its looks with contemporaries like the Triumph 2.5 PI and Stag. Power comes from Triumph’s refined overhead-valve inline-six, prized for its relaxed, torquey character rather than outright performance, wrapped in a handsome three-box saloon body. Cars like this one, dressed in period rally colours, are a familiar sight on classic touring and regularity events across Europe, where the Mk2’s blend of British saloon comfort and six-cylinder character continues to find an appreciative following.
