The seller offers for sale a 1967 Triumph 2000 Mk1, a refined British saloon fitted with a 1998 cc inline-six petrol engine and an automatic transmission. The car passed its most recent Norwegian MOT in May 2025 with no faults.
The bodywork presents in good condition. According to the seller, the exterior appears original and untouched. The paint shows signs of general aging, and the chrome trim has minor wear consistent with the car’s age. The vehicle has been fitted with new tires and a new stainless steel exhaust system.
Inside, the cabin is described as being in good condition, retaining a near time-capsule feel. The beige interior appears largely untouched, with plastic still covering the rear door panels. Upholstery, dashboard elements, and trim show little to no wear.
Mechanically, the vehicle is described as solid, with only minor servicing possibly needed in the future. This unmodified condition may appeal to purists seeking an authentic example of Triumph’s classic executive saloon.
The Triumph 2000 was launched in 1963 as part of Standard-Triumph’s ambition to offer a more upscale family car. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, the Mk1 featured elegant styling combined with a smooth six-cylinder engine derived from the Triumph TR sports car lineup. It offered a more refined alternative to the boxier sedans of the time, and quickly gained favor in the British executive car market.
The Triumph 2000 was notable for its comfortable ride, impressive build quality for the era, and modern features such as independent rear suspension and front disc brakes. It competed with vehicles like the Rover P6 and Ford Zephyr, providing a balance of performance and civility. Available with either a manual or automatic gearbox, the 2000 was a popular choice for middle-class professionals seeking a smart yet understated car.
Production of the Mk1 ran until 1969, when the Mk2 version took over with a restyled body and improved equipment. Today, surviving Mk1s are relatively rare, especially those in original condition. Many were used as daily drivers and scrapped or modified over time. A low-mileage example like this, with preserved interior and a strong degree of originality, offers both nostalgic charm and historical interest.
This Triumph 2000 Mk1 would suit a collector or classic car enthusiast looking for a largely unmodified British saloon with period-correct character. Its unique condition makes it an increasingly hard-to-find piece of 1960s motoring history.
